Synopsis de l’éditeur
From the reviews: "This book's strength lies in the connections made between different theories like classical mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity theory, and so forth. ! The book attempts to outline a program for a unified world theory similar to string theory. ! A very stimulating book. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (O. Boser, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), July, 2007) "Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker is certainly one of the most distinguished German physicists and philosophers of the 20th century ! . The Structure of Physics should be of value to anybody with interests in physics, its history, or its philosophy, since it contains far more than the particular focus on the ur theory ! . The hard cover book is nicely edited following Springer's high-quality standards." (Roland Carchon, Physicalia Magazine, Vol. 29 (4), 2007) "The present book contains an overview of von Weizsacker's considered thoughts on a wide range of basic aspect of physics ! . It will be a valuable addition to libraries since it records the mature views and perspectives of a figure who walked at the centre of the mid-century stage of physics ! . The book is certainly very thought-provoking and many of its sections are well worth careful study. It is good to have this material made available to a broader readership." (Peter Bussey, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 48 (3), 2007) Lire la suite...
