‘Reality’ in modern physics
The Copenhagen interpretation According to modern physics, the world is made up from small bits of energy, called ‘quanta’. Each object in the world is a quantum system, made up of individual quanta acting together. In effect, this is like saying that the world and its objects are made up of interacting particles, except that quanta are not quite particles. The trouble is that quanta sometimes ...
متن کاملReviews of Modern Physics
* Thesis submitted to Princeton University March 1, 1957 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. An earlier draft dated January, 1956 was circulated to several physicists whose comments were helpful. Professor Niels Bohr, Dr. H.J.Groenewald, Dr. Aage Peterson, Dr. A.Stern, and Professor L.Rosenfeld are free of any responsibility, but they are warmly thanked for the usef...
متن کاملTeaching and understanding of quantum interpretations in modern physics courses
Just as expert physicists vary in their personal stances on interpretation in quantum mechanics, instructors vary on whether and how to teach interpretations of quantum phenomena in introductory modern physics courses. In this paper, we document variations in instructional approaches with respect to interpretation in two similar modern physics courses recently taught at the University of Colora...
متن کاملWolfgang Pauli and Modern Physics
In this written version of a pre-dinner-speech at the workshop “The Nature of Gravity” at ISSI I illustrate Pauli’s science primarily with material that has not formally been published by him, but was communicated in detailed letters to eminent colleagues and friends.
متن کاملOersted Medal Lecture 2002: Reforming the Mathematical Language of Physics
The connection between physics teaching and research at its deepest level can be illuminated by Physics Education Research (PER). For students and scientists alike, what they know and learn about physics is profoundly shaped by the conceptual tools at their command. Physicists employ a miscellaneous assortment of mathematical tools in ways that contribute to a fragmentation of knowledge. We can...
