The Dream Universe: How Fundamental Physics Lost Its Way - David Lindley Audiobook
Shared by:cryotag
A vivid and captivating narrative about how modern science broke free of ancient philosophy, and how theoretical physics is returning to its unscientific roots
In the early seventeenth century Galileo broke free from the hold of ancient Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pure thought. In the process, he invented what we would come to call science. This set the stage for all the breakthroughs that followed–from Kepler to Newton to Einstein. But in the early twentieth century when quantum physics, with its deeply complex mathematics, entered into the picture, something began to change. Many physicists began looking to the equations first and physical reality second. As we investigate realms further and further from what we can see and what we can test, we must look to elegant, aesthetically pleasing equations to develop our conception of what reality is. As a result, much of theoretical physics today is something more akin to the philosophy of Plato than the science to which the physicists are heirs. In The Dream Universe, Lindley asks what is science when it becomes completely untethered from measurable phenomena?

“This theory of the universe doesn’t work!”
“Have you tried adding more variables?”
“Will that fix it?”
“No, but it’ll become too complicated for anyone to notice.”
“Is that ethical?”
“… Yes?”

Kepler did not follow Galileo his work was earlier and not influenced by him.

Dark Matter (n). 1. A phrase made up to explain why cosmologist’s math doesn’t work out.

Every aspect of our highly technological society is evidence that modern physics is a success. That success would not exist had physics “lost its way”.

Our society is built on fundamental physics. We’re just now beginning to make the most observable and testable parts of quantum physics work for us in achieving manmade entanglement at a distance and in quantum computing. Everything else is classic physic. Everything from geosynchronous satellites to palm-sized devices with more individual computing horsepower than the totality available to the government 40 years ago, is all extremely basic physics.

Is this about string theory and the fact they’re now having confrences about how should abandon the scientific method as it’s just getting in the way of string theory?
ST is a 40-year strain for a poo that will never arrive.
