Abstract

This timely book demonstrates how analyzing the conceptual basis of our physical reasoning can lead to new and far-reaching insights into the issues that confront today's physics and cosmology communities. It addresses the need for a new conceptual framework that combines our ideas of physics with aspects of history and measurement and provides a basis for further analysis. It traces the developments in physics over the past three decades since the merger of the relativistic phenomenologies of Einstein with the fundamental concepts of particle physics. Other key discussions:Examine popular misrepresentations of physical concepts, including the notional existence of Maxwell's Demon.Establish the role of the observer in determining physical reality.Propose a relationship between the nature of physical laws and the theory of the universe.Introduce a new model of physical reality that can assist scientists and thinkers with a partial resolution of conceptual dilemmas. Concepts and the Foundations of Physics is an essential read for physicists, cosmologists, and philosophy of science enthusiasts interested in a historical discussion of the metaphysical foundations of modern physics.
