Field theory: why have some physicists abandoned it?
Our present-day theory for fundamental processes in Nature— and by this I mean our descriptions of elementary particles and forces—is phenomenally successful. Experimental data confirms theoretical prediction; where accurate calculations and experiments are attainable, agreement is achieved to many— six or seven—significant figures. Table 1 shows two examples. Of course mostly such precision ca...
متن کاملTrustworthy Software: Why we need it, Why we don't have it, How we can get it
We have become increasingly dependent on a national technological fabric that contains software, computers, and communication networks as essential components. Unfortunately, our ability to build affordable software systems for which there exists compelling evidence that the systems delivers their services in a manner that satisfies certain critical properties has not kept pace with the importa...
متن کاملWorkpractice Theory – What it is and Why we need it
This is an introduction to the panel “Workpractice Theory as Foundation for IS Research” on the ALOIS*2005 conference. It is also a position statement concerning workpractice theory. It describes the needs for a workpractice theory in information systems research. It describes briefly also the workpractice theory developed by Goldkuhl & Röstlinger. This is an example of a workpractice theory to...
متن کاملWhy it is not strongly irrational to have children.
I n his interesting paper Matti Häyry identifies a new disease ‘‘prereproductive stress syndrome’’ as well as a cure for the condition in the form of philosophically based counselling that the desire for having a child is irrational. Few now hold the belief that an engagement with philosophy has strong therapeutic effects (even fewer when they have met real life philosophers), but this in itsel...
متن کاملWhy Do Only Some Galaxy Clusters Have Cool Cores?
Flux-limited X-ray samples indicate that about half of rich galaxy clusters have cool cores. Why do only some clusters have cool cores while others do not? In this paper, cosmological N-body + Eulerian hydrodynamic simulations, including radiative cooling and heating, are used to address this question as we examine the formation and evolution of cool core (CC) and non-cool core (NCC) clusters. ...
