Dit boek is een kritiek op de wijze waarop in de natuurkunde wordt omgegaan

met sommige begrippen. Het is ook toegankelijk voor de geïnteresseerde

niet-natuurkundige maar voor hoofdstuk VII is wel enige wiskundekennis

nodig en enige kennis van de speciale relativiteitstheorie gewenst.

David Hume said that although a mountain exists and gold exists, a golden mountain is not real. In the same manner, we cannot simply combine abstractions of reality and assume they refer in any meaningful way to reality.

If you are a physicist, prepare to have many of your beliefs shaken to the ground. This book shows that many of the abstract notions in contemporary physics, like probability distribution and entanglement are merely golden mountains.

But this book does not only perform a har...

This monograph has gathered together three extraordinary problems in theoretical physics to be solved exactly. The problems range from the long-standing limit problem of the simple harmonic oscillator in quantum mechanics, the unfolding of a hidden symmetry in the Markovian birth-and-death equations, to the four-hundred-year-old problem of the simple pendulum. Therefore, this monograph is a rare "three-of-a-kind" collection of major essays on seemingly unsolvable problems in physics.
