Only read half of this, tell you nothing about Uncertainty, it's just about some of the personalites involved. Avoid Lindley's books. ( ) For a review of this book, please go to [return]http://onetoughvoncookie.com/?p=619 Stephen Hakwking's A Grand Design made me despise the Uncertainty Principle. David Lindley's Uncertainty made me despise those men who, throughout history, have despised the Uncertainty Principle. Such a drastic turnaround is no mean feat and likely is due to this book's, predominantly biographical, focus. Covers the development of the ideas behind the Uncertainty Principle, including the introduction of randomness and spontaneity into quantum physics. The issues among Heisenberg, Bohr and Einstein are discussed in the context of their interests, personalities and lives. There is also discussion of the confusion introduced by this development into philosophical thought and popular culture. Se la scienza è portare ordine nella confusione si può dire che nel 1927 vi fu un cambio totale di direzione. Werner Heisenberg, un fisico di soli venticinque anni, introdusse il tema della 'inesattezza'. Di qui la sua scoperta del principio di incertezza che lo ha reso noto ed ha dato nuove fondamenta alla ricerca scientifica. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The remarkable story of a startling scientific idea that ignited a battle among the greatest minds of the twentieth century and profoundly influenced intellectual inquiry in fields ranging from physics to literary criticism, anthropology and journalism. In 1927, young German physicist Werner Heisenberg challenged centuries of scientific understanding when he introduced what came to be known as "the uncertainty principle." Heisenberg proved that in many physical measurements, you can obtain one bit of information only at the price of losing another. This proposition, undermining the cherished belief that science could reveal the physical world with limitless detail and precision, placed Heisenberg in direct opposition to the revered Albert Einstein. Niels Bohr, Heisenberg's mentor and Einstein's long-time friend, found himself caught between the two. Bohr understood that Heisenberg was correct, but he also recognized the vital necessity of gaining Einstein's support as the world faced the shocking implications of Heisenberg's principle.--From publisher description.
