String Theory and the Scientific Method

by Richard Dawid ...

String theory has played a highly influential role in theoretical physics for nearly three decades and has substantially altered our view of the elementary building principles of the Universe. However, the theory remains empirically unconfirmed, and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. So why do string theorists have such a strong belief in their theory?

Why Trust a Theory?

Epistemology of Fundamental Physics

Edited by Radin Dardashti, Richard Dawid, Karim Thébault ...

Do we need to reconsider scientific methodology in light of modern physics? Has the traditional scientific method become outdated, does it need to be defended against dangerous incursions, or has it always been different from what the canonical view suggests? To what extent should we accept non-empirical strategies for scientific theory assessment? Many core aspects of contemporary fundamental ... Read more

On July 4, 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva madehistory when they discovered an entirely new type of subatomic particle that many scientists believe is the Higgs boson. For forty years, physicists searched for this capstone to the Standard Model of particle physics—the theory that describes both the most elementary components that are known in matter and the forces through ...

Black Holes, Supernovae & More

by Robert Piccioni ...

Series series Everyone's Guide Series
This book continues our exploration of stars. Here we discuss the spectacular ways in which stars die, creating supernovae that are some of the most violent events in our universe. We also explore the exotic remnants of these explosions: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and particularly, black holes. We examine how black holes can grow as massive as small galaxies, and how they can evaporate through ... Read more

What Really Happens When You Die?

Cosmology, time and you

by Andrew McLauchlin ...

What happens to us when we die? It's a question that has sought answers from religion; philosophy; the supernatural; and, more recently, to evidence from 'near death' experience. But never, it seems, from science. Yet that's where the answer appears to lie. Specifically, in cosmology, the study of the history and future of the universe.Taking his inspiration from Stephen Hawking's groundbreaking A ... Read more
