Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une œuvre scientifique en construction est une entreprise souvent incertaine, à l'aspect buissonnant, rarement linéaire, où le vrai et le faux peuvent se côtoyer. Des idées contestables, périssables peuvent être facteurs de progrès et même, paradoxalement, favoriser le développement du paradigme qui les supplantera. C'est ce que montrent les nombreuses études de cas présentées dans cet ouvrage. Ces études retracent l’histoire de l’électrodynamique (Ohm, Ampère, Faraday, etc.) et de la physique de l’énergie (Joule, Helmholtz, Thomson, Maxwell, Planck, etc.) durant un siècle, de la pile électrique au quantum d’énergie. Cette histoire est aussi celle du passage graduel des conceptions statiques aux conceptions dynamiques du monde, transition liée à la décomposition du newtonianisme. Elle peut éclairer sur les résistances de la pensée naturelle aux idées dynamiques et les difficultés à construire le concept d’énergie dans l’enseignement. Il n’est pas illusoire d’espérer réduire ces difficultés grâce à la connaissance de l’histoire. La réussite de ce pari, peut-être le véritable ressort du livre, serait une marque supplémentaire de la fécondité des erreurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La physique moderne est réputée absconse, imprévue, irrespectueuse, rebondissante. Il s'agit pourtant d'un domaine passionnant, qui peut être compris par tous quand il est replacé dans une perspective historique. C'est ce que propose ce livre, qui présente une histoire des concepts principaux de la physique contemporaine et leur genèse à partir des grandes ruptures du début du siècle, avec quelques incursions dans le passé plus lointain. On y trouvera une présentation claire des concepts essentiels, remplacés dans le contexte de leur création. En effet, la science ne résulte pas, comme on le dit trop souvent, d'un enchaînement de mécanismes inévitables : elle est faite de créations individuelles, qui s'ajoutent, se contredisent et se répondent. Les principaux physiciens du siècle s'entrecroisent ainsi dans ce livre en de multiples occasions. Une présentation de l'histoire des grandes théories que sont la relativité et la théorie quantique, ainsi que celle de l'univers fascinant que constitue la physique des particules complètent cet ouvrage. L'auteur n'a pas cherché à être exhaustif, car il a voulu privilégier l'accès au plus grand nombre de lecteurs possibles des concepts essentiels. Les chapitres sont découpés en périodes historiques, permettant de mettre en évidence la longue quête des physiciens pour une théorie unificatrice des lois de l'univers. Ce livre s'adresse au grand public désireux de comprendre les idées fondamentales qui agitent encore aujourd'hui le monde scientifique.

Book excerpt: After completing the final version of his general theory of relativity in November 1915, Albert Einstein wrote a book about relativity for a popular audience. This new edition of Einstein's book features an authoritative English translation of the text along with an introduction and a reading companion that examines the evolution of Einstein's thinking and casts his ideas in a broader present-day context. A special chapter explores the history of and the stories behind the early foreign-language editions in light of the reception of relativity in different countries. This edition also includes a survey of the introductions from these editions, covers from selected early editions, a letter from Walther Rathenau to Einstein discussing the book, and a revealing sample from Einstein's handwritten manuscript--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though Einstein is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of modern science, he was in many respects marginal. Despite being one of the creators of quantum theory, he remained skeptical of it, and his major research program while in Princeton--the quest for a unified field--ultimately failed. In this book, Michael Gordin explores this paradox in Einstein's life by concentrating on a brief and often overlooked interlude: his tenure as professor of physics in Prague, from April of 1911 to the summer of 1912. Though often dismissed by biographers and scholars, it was a crucial year for Einstein both personally and scientifically: his marriage deteriorated, he began thinking seriously about his Jewish identity for the first time, he attempted a new explanation for gravitation-which though it failed had a significant impact on his later work-and he met numerous individuals, including Max Brod, Hugo Bergmann, Philipp Frank, and Arnošt Kolman, who would continue to influence him. In a kind of double-biography of the figure and the city, this book links Prague and Einstein together. Like the man, the city exhibits the same paradox of being both central and marginal to the main contours of European history. It was to become the capital of the Czech Republic but it was always, compared to Vienna and Budapest, less central in the Habsburg Empire. Moreover, it was home to a lively Germanophone intellectual and artistic scene, thought the vast majority of its population spoke only Czech. By emphasizing the marginality and the centrality of both Einstein and Prague, Gordin sheds new light both on Einstein's life and career and on the intellectual and scientific life of the city in the early twentieth century"--

Download or read book Einstein on Einstein written by Hanoch Gutfreund and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New perspectives on the iconic physicist's scientific and philosophical formation At the end of World War II, Albert Einstein was invited to write his intellectual autobiography for the Library of Living Philosophers. The resulting book was his uniquely personal Autobiographical Notes, a classic work in the history of science that explains the development of his ideas with unmatched warmth and clarity. Hanoch Gutfreund and Jürgen Renn introduce Einstein's scientific reflections to today's readers, tracing his intellectual formation from childhood to old age and offering a compelling portrait of the making of a philosopher-scientist. Einstein on Einstein features the full English text of Autobiographical Notes along with incisive essays that place Einstein's reflections in the context of the different stages of his scientific life. Gutfreund and Renn draw on Einstein's writings, personal correspondence, and critical writings by Einstein's contemporaries to provide new perspectives on his greatest discoveries. Also included are Einstein's responses to his critics, which shed additional light on his scientific and philosophical worldview. Gutfreund and Renn quote extensively from Einstein's initial, unpublished attempts to formulate his response, and also look at another brief autobiographical text by Einstein, written a few weeks before his death, which is published here for the first time in English. Complete with evocative drawings by artist Laurent Taudin, Einstein on Einstein illuminates the iconic physicist's journey to general relativity while situating his revolutionary ideas alongside other astonishing scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of original papers by a leading team of international scholars explores Isaac Newton's relation to a variety of empiricisms and empiricists. It includes studies of Newton's experimental methods in optics and their roots in Bacon and Boyle; Locke's and Hume's responses to Newton on the nature of matter, time, the structure of the sciences, and the limits of human inquiry. In addition it explores the use of Newtonian ideas in 18th-century pedagogy and the life sciences. Finally, it breaks new ground in analyzing the method of evidential reasoning heralded by the Principia, its nature, strength, and development in the subsequent three centuries of gravitational research. The volume will be of interest to historians of science and philosophy and philosophers interested in the nature of empiricism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and BBC host Jim Al-Khalili offers a fascinating and illuminating look at what physics reveals about the world Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al-Khalili invites us all to understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself. Al-Khalili begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of space, time, energy, and matter, and then describes the three pillars of modern physics—quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics—showing how all three must come together if we are ever to have a full understanding of reality. Using wonderful examples and thought-provoking analogies, Al-Khalili illuminates the physics of the extreme cosmic and quantum scales, the speculative frontiers of the field, and the physics that underpins our everyday experiences and technologies, bringing the reader up to speed with the biggest ideas in physics in just a few sittings. Physics is revealed as an intrepid human quest for ever more foundational principles that accurately explain the natural world we see around us, an undertaking guided by core values such as honesty and doubt. The knowledge discovered by physics both empowers and humbles us, and still, physics continues to delve valiantly into the unknown. Making even the most enigmatic scientific ideas accessible and captivating, this deeply insightful book illuminates why physics matters to everyone and calls one and all to share in the profound adventure of seeking truth in the world around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is divided into five parts. The title of the volume refers primarily to part I, which is by far the largest and comprises papers discussing the fundamental questions of biology and related psychological and philosophical problems. Following the reproduction of papers brought to publication by Bohr, there is a separate Appendix to Part I including some of Bohr's most interesting and substantive unpublished contributions in this area. The papers in Part I span the last thirty years of Bohr's life and display his great interest in biological problems and his unremitting efforts to show that biology cannot be reduced to physics and chemistry. Part II contains articles of a more general cultural interest. Some of these show that Bohr regarded the complementary perspective to be of value also outside the scientific sphere. Part III contains the articles Bohr wrote about the great Danish philosopher Harald Høffding. These short papers are presented in a section on their own because of the continuing discussion in the history of science about Høffding's possible influence on Bohr's work in physics and his whole scientific approach. Part IV comprises articles illuminating the history of 20th century physics. Bohr had great veneration for his predecessors and teachers, and he prepared these articles with great care. Part V contains correspondence relating to the material in Parts I through IV. As in previous volumes an inventory of relevant unpublished manuscripts held at the Niels Bohr Archive constitutes an appendix to the whole volume.

Book excerpt: The world was changing at a blistering speed in Bagehot's day. New scientific ideas were reshaping the world, and every field of human inquiry was affected by this new interest in giving a full explanation for the history of everything in existence. In this work, first published in 1872, Bagehot applies scientific ideas, like survival of the fittest, to the development of nations and government. He further discusses the effect of scientific and technological advancements, like the invention of stronger and more deadly weapons, on politics. British journalist WALTER BAGEHOT (1826-1877) was an early editor of The Economist and was among the first economists to discuss the concept of the business cycle. He is also the author of The English Constitution (1873) and The Postulates of English Political Economy (1885).
