On Progress in Physics and Subjectivity Theory
An Amateur's Meanderings as Inspiration for Actual Physicists
Description
Why has progress in fundamental physics stalled over the last decades? The conditions seem as favorable as never before: an increasing number of people are studying physics, there is more leisure time for contemplation, IQ levels have risen collectively, and experimental budgets have soared. What did the old masters possess that we're missing today?It’s true that progress naturally becomes harder over time. But that sounds like an easy excuse. Maybe we don’t understand deeply how progress came about in the past, so we cannot recreate it? Maybe we’ve grown overly respectful of current theories, too afraid to challenge them? Or maybe we just forgot how to be creative?
This book seeks to unravel these questions with the ultimate aim to be a source for inspiration. Who knows, maybe this flexing of the reader’s brain muscles will trigger the spark that will finally bring the breakthroughs humanity has been longing for.
