  • Kant, Schlick and Friedman on Space, Time and Gravity in Light of Three Lessons from Particle Physics
    Erkenn DOI 10.1007/s10670-017-9883-5 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Kant, Schlick and Friedman on Space, Time and Gravity in Light of Three Lessons from Particle Physics J. Brian Pitts1 Received: 28 March 2016 / Accepted: 21 January 2017 Ó The Author(s) 2017. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Kantian philosophy of space, time and gravity is significantly affected in three ways by particle physics. First, particle physics deflects Schlick’s General Relativity-based critique of synthetic a priori knowledge. Schlick argued that since geometry was not synthetic a priori, nothing was—a key step toward logical empiricism. Particle physics suggests a Kant-friendlier theory of space-time and gravity presumably approximating General Relativity arbitrarily well, massive spin- 2 gravity, while retaining a flat space-time geometry that is indirectly observable at large distances. The theory’s roots include Seeliger and Neumann in the 1890s and Einstein in 1917 as well as 1920s–1930s physics. Such theories have seen renewed scientific attention since 2000 and especially since 2010 due to breakthroughs addressing early 1970s technical difficulties. Second, particle physics casts addi- tional doubt on Friedman’s constitutive a priori role for the principle of equivalence. Massive spin-2 gravity presumably should have nearly the same empirical content as General Relativity while differing radically on foundational issues. Empirical content even in General Relativity resides in partial differential equations, not in an additional principle identifying gravity and inertia. Third, Kant’s apparent claim that Newton’s results could be known a priori is undermined by an alternate gravitational equation.

  • V.Y. Glaser SOME RETROSPECTIVE REMARKS by Ph. Blanchard
    V.Y. Glaser SOME RETROSPECTIVE REMARKS by Ph. Blanchard OPENINGS MATHEMATICS IN PHYSICS GREAT ENCOUNTERS ALONG THE WAY Zagreb, Göttingen, Copenhagen, Geneva, Strasbourg, Bures sur Yvette USING MATHEMATICS WITH CLARITY AND ELEGANCE Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory O P E N I N G S I am happy to have been asked to speak about Yurko Glaser, his thinking and its actions. It is an honor for me to pay tribute to the brilliant achievements of this leading mathematical physicist, gifted teacher and exceptional friend. It was in Strasbourg at the spring meeting of the RCP 25, where we first met 1967. At this time I was in Zürich at the ETH, working on the Paul-Fierz model of the infrared catastrophe under the direction of Res Jost. Yurko was born on April 21, 1924 just before the discovery by Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Born … of modern Quantum Theory in the mid 1920’s. Carlo Rubbia was also born in Gorizia, Görz, Friaul – Julisch Venetien. Quantum Theory before 1925 – the Old Quantum Theory (Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Sommerfeld …) – was part craft part art. Old principles had been founded wanting, new ones had not yet been discovered. Modern Quantum Theory was a real revolution of our understanding of physical process. Compared with this change, Einstein’s relativity, born in 1905, seem not much more than very interesting variations on nevertheless classical themes. Yurko studied at the University of Zagreb, where he received his Diploma in 1950 and his Ph.D in 1953 under the supervision of W. Heisenberg. He moved to Göttingen in 1951-1952 and made his first important contributions to physics, a book of QED published 1955 in Zagreb and outstanding results on QFT, the attempt to clarify the compatibility of special relativity theory with Quantum Theory.

Academic Editors: Lorenzo Iorio and Elias C. Vagenas Received: 21 August 2016; Accepted: 14 September 2016; Published: 28 September 2016 Abstract: For the last 100 years, General Relativity (GR) has taken over the gravitational theory mantle held by Newtonian Gravity for the previous 200 years. This article reviews the status of GR in terms of its self-consistency, completeness, and the evidence provided by observations, which have allowed GR to remain the champion of gravitational theories against several other classes of competing theories. We pay particular attention to the role of GR and gravity in cosmology, one of the areas in which one gravity dominates and new phenomena and effects challenge the orthodoxy. We also review other areas where there are likely conflicts pointing to the need to replace or revise GR to represent correctly observations and consistent theoretical framework. Observations have long been key both to the theoretical liveliness and viability of GR.

  • FIFTY YEARS THAT CHANGED OUR PHYSICS 1 Introduction Going
    FIFTY YEARS THAT CHANGED OUR PHYSICS Jean Iliopoulos ENS, Paris As seen through the Moriond meetings 1 Introduction Going through the Proceedings of the Moriond meetings, from 1966 to 2016, we have a panoramic view of the revolution which took place in our understanding of the fundamental interactions. As we heard from J. Lefran¸cois, these meetings started as a gathering among a group of friends who loved physics and loved skiing. Through the years they became a major International Conference, still trying to keep part of the original spirit. The driving force behind this evolution has been our friend Jean Tran Than Van and this Conference is one of his many children. In 1966 Jean was fifty years younger and for a young man of that age fifty years is eternity. These years brought to each one of us their load of disappointments and sorrows, but also that of achievements and successes. We witnessed the birth and rise of the Standard Model and our greatest joy is to be able to say I was there! Four years ago you discovered the last piece of this Model and, hopefully, this will open the way to new and greater discoveries. I wish all the young people in this room to be able to say, fifty years from now, I was there! The twentieth century was the century of revolutions in Physics. Just to name a few: Relativity, Special and General – Atoms and atomic theory – Radioactivity – The atomic nucleus – Quantum Mechanics – Particles and Fields – Gauge theories and Geometry. Each one involved new physical concepts, new mathematical tools and new champions.

    Number Fifteen Carolyn and Ernest Fay Series in Analytical Psychology David H. Rosen, General Editor The Carolyn and Ernest Fay edited book series, based initially on the annual Fay Lecture Series in Analytical Psychology, was established to further the ideas of C. G. Jung among students, faculty, therapists, and other citizens and to enhance scholarly activities related to analytical psychology. The Book Series and Lecture Series address topics of im- portance to the individual and to society. Both series were generously endowed by Carolyn Grant Fay, the founding president of the C. G. Jung Educational Center in Houston, Texas. The series are in part a memorial to her late husband, Ernest Bel Fay. Carolyn Fay has plant- ed a Jungian tree carrying both her name and that of her late hus- band, which will bear fruitful ideas and stimulate creative works from this time forward. Texas A&M University and all those who come in contact with the growing Fay Jungian tree are extremely grateful to Carolyn Grant Fay for what she has done. The holder of the McMillan Professorship in Analytical Psychology at Texas A&M functions as the general editor of the Fay Book Series.

Leite Lopes Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas - CBPF Rua Dr. Xavier Sigaud, 150 22290-180 - Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ 1 Introduction: The beta-ray continuous spectrum The purpose of this paper is to give a brief account of the development of the theory of weak interactions and the electroweak model.] This theory dates from 1934 and after about forty years contributed with quantum electrodynamics to the first successful model of unification of interactions - the so-called electroweak model. Together with quantum chromodynamics - the theory of strong interactions - the electroweak model constitutes the standard model of basic forces in the grand unification model - waiting for the in- corporation of a quantum theory of gravity which would then hopefully afford a unified picture of the world fundamental interactions. This cannot clearly be a complete history of weak interactions physics. These notes of course reflect my view of the subject after many years of work in this field - and after having had the privilege of speding some time in laboratories where eminent physicists actively worked such as W.

Entwicklung von Konzepten | Development of concepts 1 Introduction Mathematical considerations played an important role in the new physics that emerged in the early decades of the twentieth century. This may be best known from the general theory of relativity, but the role of mathematics was no less important in the case of the other revolutionary theory of the period, quantum mechanics. In this paper I exemplify the relationship between mathematics and physics by looking at the development that in the late 1920s led to a relativistic theory of the electron, as described by the Dirac wave equation. The problem that faced the new generation of quantum physicists was to establish a theory that was consistent with the general principles of both quantum mechanics and special relativity; in addition the theory would have to incorporate the spin of the electron which was discovered in 1925 and at first seemed foreign to quantum mechanics. In this process, as it unfolded in the years 1926 – 28, contributions from mathematics were of considerable importance. Likewise, some of the concepts and quantities introduced by the physicists turned out to be of great interest to the pure mathematicians.

However far Markus Fierz's academic duties or likings took him, a universal attraction appeared to draw him back to the place where PS cables 7 he first saw his father teaching. Fundamental nuclear research 8 When he entered Gottingen University in the winter of 1931, M. Fierz first turned to biology, hoping to achieve biophysical studies. But, prior to 1933, Gottingen was also a sort of Mecca for mathematics and theoretical physics and unquestionably this CERN COURIER condition helped shape his future. With the Nazi purges starting in the spring of 1933, valuable minds began to leave Germany. Away from Gottingen came such men is published monthly for the staff of the as Max Born and Herman Weyl ; back to Zurich came Markus Fierz.
