ISBN: 9780465094257 - lost in math: how beauty leads physics astray (18 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In this provocative book (New York Times), a contrarian physicist argues that her field's modern obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science.Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades.The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these too good to not be true theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Neu. Neu Neuware, Importqualität, auf Lager - Eine ketzerische Position: Was läuft falsch in der gegenwärtigen Physik Physiker glauben häufig, dass die besten Theorien schön, natürlich und elegant sind. Was schön ist, muss wahr sein, Schönheit unterscheidet erfolgreiche Theorien von schlechten. Sabine Hossenfelder zeigt jedoch, dass die Physik sich damit verrannt hat: Durch das Festhalten am Primat der Schönheit gibt es seit mehr als vier Jahrzehnten keinen Durchbruch in der Grundlagenphysik. Schlimmer noch, der Glaube an Schönheit ist so dogmatisch geworden, dass er nun in Konflikt mit wissenschaftlicher Objektivität gerät: Beobachtungen können nicht mehr länger die kühnsten Theorien wie z.B. Supersymmetrie bestätigen. Um aus dieser Sackgasse herauszukommen, muss die Physik ihre Methoden überdenken. Nur wenn Realität als das akzeptiert wird, was sie ist, kann Wissenschaft die Wahrheit erkennen.…
