brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
"Quantum theory reminds us of the old wisdom that when searching for harmony in life one must never forget that in the drama of existence we are ourselves both players and spectators.
"
This is one of the first books that aimed to make modern physics accessible to the general public, but it is hardly that, at least not by today's standards indeed, the explanations, the content and the themes discussed are hardly those that one would ever find in a popular science book written today.
Heisenberg was the seminal figure, alongside Bohr, in the development of Quantum Mechanics, and so gives a unique perspective when he discusses the history and development of the theory he then proceeds to introduce the copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory as put forward by Niels Bohr, defending a kind of subjectivism that scientists steer clear of but Heisenberg is not at all troubled by this advent, indeed he embraces it fully and later in the book defends it passionately against the alternatives of Bohm, Bopp and ' the Bolshievik physics' stemming from dialectical materialism.
The most interesting point is Heisenberg's discussion of trends in Western philosophy, in the ancient tradition he discusses Parmenides, Heraclitus and Plato, and seeks to show the similarites and differences in their ideas and those put forward by modern physics, what follows is an outstanding commentary, which continues into modern philosophy as he discusses Descartes at length, followed by a brief mention of the British Empiricists Locke, Berkeley and Hume.
He then turns to Kant, outlining his cosmogony in detail before embarking on a criticism of transcendental idealism, not in a philosophical manner, but rather demonstrating that Kant's a priori views of space, time and causality are inconsistent with both quantum theory and relativity a view also held by Einstein and Russell.
He then discusses the Theory of Relativity before discussing the relationships between physics and other sciences, Then he proceeds to discuss exactly why there is so much controversy about Quantum Physics, His answer Language. A clear influence of Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose later work Heisenberg admired greatly, Heisenberg makes the case that the 'everyday' language is not adequate to deal with quantum processes, which is why we are faced with paradoxes when we try to describe them as such.
The book closes with Heisenberg's thoughts on science and society where he traces developments and currents of thoughts in society and how far they have been influenced by science upto Hegel and Marx, and the eventual crystallization of their ideas into the USSR.
This was a very enjoyable read, perhaps a bit too brief, indeed one is hard pressed to find a better book covering this theme, I for one, have not.
شوربختانه افتخار آشنایی و هم صحبتی با جناب نجفی زاده را نداشته ام اما دورادور از فعالیت های بنیاد ایشان آگاه شده ام. می دانم که پروژه بزرگی پیش رو دارند. این پروژه شامل ده ها عنوان ترجمه از کتاب های فلسفی است و انتظار این است که مجموعه ای مرجع باشد برای علاقمندان و پژوهشگران فلسفه در زمینه فلسفه مدرن و پسامدرن. امیدوارم این پروژه به نتیجه و فرجام شایسته اش برسد.
اما درباره این کتاب! از دید من خواندنش برای علاقمندان به فلسفه یک ضرورت است. این کتاب بیانگر زمینه های شکل گیری یکی از جریان فکری در فلسفه است که از آغاز سده بیستم به این سو در اروپا و امریکای شمالی پا می گیرد. دقیقا مانند گذار از فیزیک کلاسیک به فیزیک کوانتوم! خواننده می تواند یک دگرگونی بنیادین در روش اندیشه ورزی پیش از سده بیستم و پس از آن را دریابد
ای کاش این کتاب پیش از انتشار به دست یک تیم ویراستاری سپرده می شد. هم چنین نسخه پی دی اف آن از دید من به هیچ روی جذابیت یک کتاب دیجیتالی را ندارد و ای کاش با دقت بیشتری روی آن کار می شد. Heisenburg traces philosophical thought from Greeks permanence versus change ultimate elements of reality to Descartes the partition of mind and matter to Newton classical physics/mechanics.
These philosophical ideas have, Heisenburg writes, formed the way we see the world and the language we use to describe it.
Heisenburg argues that ideas and language pertaining to the empirical world are not adequate to deal with the realities of quantum physics ultimate reality as energy, out of which subparticles are formed, the behavior of which can be determined only in terms of probability.
Nor are classical descriptions adequate to deal with the realities of relativity theory light as a universal constant the stretching, contracting and linking of space and time the equivalence of mass and energy.
Heisenburg believes that the spread of science around the world can deepen and widen Western philosophical thought that confines our way of seeing the world.
He is hopeful that new ways of thinking will also unify cultural differences and eliminate “arms” in the age of nuclear weapons.
Based on what Heisenburg writes, the starting point for a new worldview might have energy as the ultimate reality, that energy is motion, motion creates counter motion, that such interactions are rearrangements of energy and matter and that change and transformation is perpetual.
Might this view have implications for our philosophical understanding Are, for example, freedom the movement of energy and matter lifes free movement to seek objects of sustenance to temporarily overcome entropy equality balance and the elimination of energy/power differentials and dialectical processes movement, counter movement, balance embedded in the physics of energy and matter
The Kindle edition was filled with many typographical errors and the introduction to the book was difficult.
“Energy is in fact the substance from which all elementary particles, all atoms, and therefore all things are made, and energy is that which moves.
Energy is a substance, since its total amount does not change, and the elementary particles can actually be made from this substance.
”
A question remains about the nature of motion whether its source is external gravitational effects in warped spacetime internal atoms in motion dissipation of heat, or both.
Mulle tundub, et ma sain umbes/st aru, Cuối cùng cũng "luộc" được xong quyển này, Nhìn chung là vừa hài lòng, vừa không hài lòng, Được viết bởi cha đẻ của cơ học lượng tử, một tượng đài của vật lý hiện đại, tôi kỳ vọng quyển sách này hay hơn thế.
Tuy nhiên, có quá nhiều thuật ngữ và ngôn từ của vật lý và quá ít chất triết học trong quyển sách này, do đó, sẽ là một cuốn sách khá khó đọc cho dân ngoại đạo.
Tuy nhiên, phần triết học ít ỏi trong sách lại không hề là một chủ đề khiêm tốn chút nào, nhất là khi nó gần như là một khẳng định cho quan điểm của tôi về khoa học, tôn giáo và tất nhiên, triết học.
Còn gì sung sướng hơn khi được nghe chính một nhà vật lý đoạt giải Nobel khẳng định suy nghĩ của mình là đúng cơ chứ Sự vô hạn đi kèm tính giới hạn của khoa học thuyết bất khả tri vai trò của khoa học và tôn giáo hai niềm tin ở Chúa sự hình thành ngôn ngữ tự nhiên và kỹ thuật lý thuyết và thực nghiệm.
. tất cả đều được nhắc tới trong tác phẩm này,
Một cuốn sách hay là một cuốn sách truyền cảm hứng.
Đột nhiên tôi thấy mình tiến thêm một bước gần hơn với chân lý, sau khi đọc xong quyển sách này.
Thêm một quy luật nữa mà đầu óc tăm tối của tôi bỗng ngộ ra.
Cảm ơn Werner Heisenberg, xin cảm ơn ông!
P/S: Kể ra nên đặt lại tên cho quyển sách là "Một tấn vật lý và một tí triết học" thì sẽ chính xác hơn, tôi nghĩ vậy.
