BOOK REVIEW The Foundations of Physical Law
Many physicists enter the profession because, often as children, they felt a burning curiosity about the world. They wanted to know why material objects behave as they do, what they are made of, and where everything came from. So they were drawn inexorably towards physics, the most basic science, as the the best place to seek answers. They will have found, however, that the answers only go just...
متن کاملBook review Foundations of phylogenetic systematics
‘‘Foundations of Phylogenetic Systematics’’ (FPS), Johann-Wolfgang Wägele’s updated translation of an earlier German version (Wägele, 2001), has several unifying objectives, namely ‘‘to present a comparison and synthesis of the methodological procedure of Hennigian phylogenetic systematics with new numerical methods, to depict what these methods have in common and where they differ, and to sear...
متن کاملExperiment and the foundations of quantum physics
Instead of having to rely on gedanken (thought) experiments, it is possible to base this discussion of the foundations of quantum physics on actually performed experiments because of the enormous experimental progress in recent years. For reasons of space, the author discusses mainly experiments related to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and Bell’s theorem, that is, to quantum entanglement....
متن کاملBook Review: Ensemble Methods: Foundations and Algorithms
Erving Goffman, one of the most influential sociologists of the last century published the Presentation of Self in Everyday Life (PSEL;1959). This is the most definitive 20th century study of the patterns of human behavior in mundane social situations. If we look to psychology, sociology, anthropology, marketing or even organisational studies the representation of human behavior emerges from ri...
متن کاملBook Review * Quantum Evolution
In “Quantum Evolution”, Johnjoe McFadden makes far-reaching claims for the importance of quantum physics in the solution of problems in biological science. In this review, I shall discuss the relevance of unitary wavefunction dynamics to biological systems, analyse the inverse quantum Zeno effect, and argue that McFadden’s use of quantum theory is deeply flawed. In the first half of his book, M...
