The book originated in a series of lectures given at Liverpool in 2013 to a group that included postgraduate and undergraduate students and staff of the Physics Department. They followed from two very successful lectures given to the undergraduate Physical Society. It seemed that there was a very large interest among the students in investigating the foundations of physics in a way that was never done in physics courses, and was not available in books or other outlets. However, the idea was to create a framework in which students (and interested staff) could develop their own thinking relative to the ideas in the lectures. So it was important to create both conceptual and mathematical structures on the issues that are important at this level. The book has the right sort of technical content to allow for this development, but doesn't lose itself in excessive details. The ideal use for this book would be on postgraduate courses where students would be encouraged to think about the foundations in a way that is well beyond the superficial. However, a course on aspects of this material would also be valuable at the undergraduate level, where students could be stimulated into believing that creative thinking could solve the problems that emerge when we confront foundational problems.

This book applies physical principles, primarily principles of local causation and continuity to gauge field theory. The theory imposes an empirical constraint on the possible detection of gravitational radiation. An hypothesis is defined to test the possible reality of quantum states, as compared with the predictions of general relativity and quantum field theory.

This is not an introduction to physics but an analysis of its founda tions. Indeed, the aims of this book are: (1) to analyze the form and content of some of the key ideas of physics; (2) to formulate several basic physical theories in an explicit and orderly (i. e. , axiomatic) fashion; (3) to exhibit their presuppositions and discuss some of their philosoph ical implications; (4) to discuss some of the controversial issues, and (5) to debunk certain dusty philosophical tenets that obscure the under standing of physics and hinder its progress. To the extent to which these goals are attained, the volume can serve as a companion to studies in theoretical physics aiming at deepening the understanding of the logical structure and the physical meaning of our science. In order to keep the book slender, whole fields of basic physical research had to be excluded - chiefly many-body physics, quantum field theories, and elementary particle theories. A large coverage was believed to be less important than a comparatively detailed analysis and reconstruction of three representative monuments: classical mechan ics, general relativity, and quantum mechanics, as well as their usually unrecognized presuppositions. The reader is invited to join the project and supply some of the many missing chapters - or to rewrite the present ones entirely.

Unique in its field, this book uses a methodology that is entirely new, creating the simplest and most abstract foundations for physics to date. The author proposes a fundamental description of process in a universal computational rewrite system, leading to an irreducible form of relativistic quantum mechanics from a single operator. This is not only simpler, and more fundamental, but also seemingly more powerful than any other quantum mechanics formalism available. The methodology finds immediate applications in particle physics, theoretical physics and theoretical computing. In addition, taking the rewrite structure more generally as a description of process, the book shows how it can be applied to large-scale structures beyond the realm of fundamental physics.

The essays in this book look at way in which the fundaments of physics might need to be changed in order to make progress towards a unified theory. They are based on the prize-winning essays submitted to the FQXi essay competition “Which of Our Basic Physical Assumptions Are Wrong?”, which drew over 270 entries. As Nobel Laureate physicist Philip W. Anderson realized, the key to understanding nature’s reality is not anything “magical”, but the right attitude, “the focus on asking the right questions, the willingness to try (and to discard) unconventional answers, the sensitive ear for phoniness, self-deception, bombast, and conventional but unproven assumptions.” The authors of the eighteen prize-winning essays have, where necessary, adapted their essays for the present volume so as to (a) incorporate the community feedback generated in the online discussion of the essays, (b) add new material that has come to light since their completion and (c) to ensure accessibility to a broad audience of readers with a basic grounding in physics. The Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, catalyzes, supports, and disseminates research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers and innovative ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely to be supported by conventional funding sources.

This book challenges jurists and parliamentarians to reconsider the foundations of the legal and political institutions in Britain, which are shown to be seriously wanting as judicial decisions in favor of justice are set aside by appeal to statutory enactments of Parliament slanted by party-political prejudice.

A bridge between semipopular works for the general reader has technical treatises written for specialists, this excellent work discusses the foundation ideas and background of modern physics. It is not a text on theoretical physics, but a discussion of the methods of physical description and construction of theory. It is especially valuable for a physicist with a background in elementary calculus who is interested in the ideas which give meaning to the data and tools of modern physics.

The Theory of Everything Unveiled Everyone knows that mathematics is the language of science. As such, the book is geared toward those individuals with high-level mathematical skills. The book begins by presenting the geometric constructs that underlie curved global and local spaces. The properties of these connections are then examined in detail. The global distortion connector is shown to be related to the gravitational field. Next, the connector associated with both global and local distortions is examined and shown to be related to the electromagnetic field. Finally, the connector associated with purely local distortions is shown to account for the underlying structure of particles. In summary, the book shows the connection between the distortions in the space-time continuum with the gravitational, electromagnetic, and nuclear forces. On examining the properties of the space-time connector (i.e., metric), the book develops Einstein's free-field curvature tensor that underlies the theory of general relativity. In a similar manner, Maxwell's electromagnetic field equations are derived. Lastly from the macroscopic observer perspective, the group theory that underlies the "Standard Model" for particle interactions is presented. Finally from the microscopic observer perspective, the local distortions are shown to be best described using wave equations. The resulting wave equations are found to be those commonly used in quantum field theory for free particles. The author methodically presents the geometric principles that describe the space-time continuum. He then develops those concepts and applies them to the world around us. Along the way, the properties of each resulting field is examined and related back to known physical laws. This approach allows the underlying basis for unknown constants of proportionality to be fully understood. Unlike standard text books on general relativity, electromagnetic fields, group theory, and quantum mechanics; the author leaves no "details" for the student. As a result, the author is able to unify the underlying theories that provide the foundation of nature's laws.
