Beschreibung: | THE idea of collecting these essays occurred to me when, in the leisure of retirement, I scanned some of my own books and found that two of the more widely read show a startling change of attitude to some of the fundamental concepts of science. These are Einstein's Theory of Relativity of 1921 and the American edition of The Restless Universe of 1951. I have taken the introduction of as the former the first item of this collection, the postscript to the latter as its last. These books agree in the relativistic concept of space and time, but differ in many other fundamental notions. In 1921 I believed- and I shared this belief with most of my contemporary physicists- that science produced an objective knowledge of the world, which is governed by deterministic laws. The scientific method seemed to me superior to other, more subjective ways of forming a picture of the world philosophy, poetry, and religion; and I even thought the unambiguous language of science to be a step towards a better understanding between human beings. In 1951 I believed in none of these things. The border between object and subject had been blurred, deterministic laws had been replaced by statistical ones, and although physicists understood one another well enough across all national frontiers they had contributed nothing to a better understanding of nations, but had helped in inventing and applying the most horrible weapons of destruction |

These are Einstein's Theory of Relativity of 1921 and the American edition of The Restless Universe of 1951. I have taken the introduction of as the former the first item of this collection, the postscript to the latter as its last. These books agree in the relativistic concept of space and time, but differ in many other fundamental notions. In 1921 I believed- and I shared this belief with most of my contemporary physicists- that science produced an objective knowledge of the world, which is governed by deterministic laws. The scientific method seemed to me superior to other, more subjective ways of forming a picture of the world philosophy, poetry, and religion; and I even thought the unambiguous language of science to be a step towards a better understanding between human beings. In 1951 I believed in none of these things. The border between object and subject had been blurred, deterministic laws had been replaced by statistical ones, and although physicists understood one another well enough across all national frontiers they had contributed nothing to a better understanding of nations, but had helped in inventing and applying the most horrible weapons of destruction Born, Max 1882-1970 (DE-588)118513621 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1900- gnd rswk-swf Physics Physics, general Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Naturgesetz (DE-588)4132390-7 gnd rswk-swf Entwicklung (DE-588)4113450-3 gnd rswk-swf Physik (DE-588)4045956-1 gnd rswk-swf Relativität (DE-588)4191596-3 gnd rswk-swf Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 gnd rswk-swf Statistik (DE-588)4056995-0 gnd rswk-swf Autobiografie (DE-588)4003939-0 gnd rswk-swf Quantenmechanik (DE-588)4047989-4 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Physik (DE-588)4045956-1 s Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 s 2\p DE-604 Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s 3\p DE-604 Geschichte 1900- z 4\p DE-604 Geschichte z 5\p DE-604 Born, Max 1882-1970 (DE-588)118513621 p Autobiografie (DE-588)4003939-0 s 6\p DE-604 Relativität (DE-588)4191596-3 s 7\p DE-604 Quantenmechanik (DE-588)4047989-4 s 8\p DE-604 Entwicklung (DE-588)4113450-3 s 9\p DE-604 Naturgesetz (DE-588)4132390-7 s 10\p DE-604 Statistik (DE-588)4056995-0 s 11\p DE-604 Heidelberg Science Library 5 (DE-604)BV002785833 5 https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-25189-8 Verlag Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 7\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 8\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 9\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 10\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 11\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
