I The History of Mathematical Physics
The Past and the Future of Physics
What is the present state of mathematical physics What are the problems it is led to set itself What is its future Is its orientation about to be modified
Ten years hence will the aim and the methods of this science appear to our immediate successors in the same light as to ourselves; or on the contrary are we about to witness a profound transformation Such are the questions we are forced to raise in entering to-day upon our investigation
If it is easy to propound them: to answer is difficult If we felt tempted to risk a prediction we should easily resist this temptation by thinking of all the stupidities the most eminent savants of a hundred years ago would have uttered if some one had asked them what the science of the nineteenth century would be They would have thought themselves bold in their predictions and after the event how very timid we should have found them Do not therefore expect of me any prophecy
But if like all prudent physicians I shun giving a prognosis yet I can not dispense with a little diagnostic; well yes there are indications of a serious crisis as if we might expect an approaching transformation Still be not too anxious: we are sure the patient will not die of it and we may even hope that this crisis will be salutary for the history of the past seems to guarantee us this This crisis in fact is not the first and to understand it it is important to recall those which have preceded Pardon then a brief historical sketch

Quantum Physics: From Illusion to Reality
ISBN:
Binding: Kindle Edition
Edition: 3
Author(s): Shan Gao
Publisher: Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing
Number of Pages: 38
The double-slit experiment has been widely discussed since the founding of quantum mechanics Nearly all textbooks on quantum mechanics use the experiment to illustrate the wave-particle duality of light and matter According to Richard Feynman the double-slit experiment contains the only mystery of quantum mechanics After we have unveiled the mystery we will be able to understand quantum mechanics
What is the mystery then The mystery lies in the explanation of the counterintuitive experiment result What does it imply for the nature of reality How on earth does a single electron pass through two slits at the same time Exactly what is an electron There are already many possible pictures of quantum reality From pilot wave and Brownian motion to many worlds and dynamical collapse every interpretation claims that it gives the right answer But which one is right Or none of them is right Obviously there is only one real picture of quantum reality Can we find it now
It has been widely thought that the mystery of quantum mechanics can only be disclosed by future precise experiments However this is not the case This little book will show that a penetrating analysis can already lead us to the way out of the maze of quantum interpretations In the end the real picture of quantum reality will naturally appear and it can also be understood by general readers To our great surprise quantum mechanics already tells the secret It is that a single electron passes through both slits at the same time in a discontinuous and random way
Book & Thoughts Reviews:
This is an ambitious work that reflects admirable grip and distinctive take on much of the contemporary philosophy of quantum mechanics literature
---- Reviewer of Philosophy of Science
The idea of using discontinuous motion as a realist interpretation of quantum mechanics is original
---- Reviewer of Foundations of Physics
Its very existence is at any rate an excellent illustration of the extent to which physical data force us to depart from commonsense ideas when we try to depict reality "as it really is"
---- Bernard d'Espagnat theoretical physicist philosopher of science Templeton Prize 2009 Laureate author of Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and On Physics and Philosophy

Quantum Physics, Near Death Experiences, Eternal Consciousness, Religion, and the Human Soul
ISBN: 1463792336
Binding: Paperback
Edition:
Author(s): William Joseph Bray
Publisher: CreateSpace
Number of Pages: 348
Written by a Physicist with 20 years in Neuro-science Medical Research who has experienced numerous medically documented NDEs First note that Technical Writing and Standard English differ considerably (look at any instruction manual) and in order to teach a subject not teach about it Standard English fails Some people have difficulty with this but there is no workaround Logic is a mathematical language In order to teach the subject and not merely discuss it ideologically the sentence structure will read more like a textbook and less like a discussion To teach the subject of Quantum Physics to the lay reader in math and terminology that is simple to understand To describe how and why reality this Universe is interdependent with consciousness in order to exist exactly as defined by the founders of Quantum Physics over half of a century ago to describe this mechanism in detail how we interact with manipulate and define this finite Universe To describe how we Paint the Universe into Being in a tangible argument without metaphor ambiguity or uncertainty that is suitable within the formal definitions of Quantum Physics as well as the philosophies and Religions of Man To dismiss urban myths and misconceptions in science that suggests our existence as finite exactly how and why To present a working definition for consciousness that is suitable to the formal definitions of Quantum Physics as well as the philosophies and Religions of Man To establish that this definition for consciousness requires infinite unique existence To describe that this working definition for consciousness eliminates paradoxes in science philosophy and religion To draw a well-defined line between cognitive belief systems and Faith: an awareness of oneself as an infinite being as being tangible and real not a belief To define the relationships between the formal definitions of the founders of Quantum Physics Consciousness how we Paint the Universe into Being using the clinically established Near Death Experience to bridge the gap between the finite reality we perceive and an infinite domain in which we must reside To define perception what time and space are the existence of multiple universes employing a unique definition for consciousness that requires infinite existence in order to truly exist To note the relationship that you cannot fit an infinite thing (yourself) inside of a finite box (this universe) We are not here we reside in an infinite domain at this very moment This unique definition for consciousness states that consciousness cannot reside within the limited confines of this finite reality as it has been misunderstood to be and as such has evaded being properly defined Finding this definition was the hope of the founders of Quantum Physics in order to complete a model that describes a universe interdependent on our existence There is some math but it is reduced into middle school simplicity This is not an ideological argument or exploration This is a series of simple axioms that challenge the scientific community as a whole to find an irrefutable argument that is non-speculative Without an intimate knowledge of Quantum Physics the lay author misconceives the vocabulary and topics altogether This book very strongly disagrees with most everything written to date and will likely bring about contention There is dissolution of popular urban myth and misconception that seem to be the main stay of popular belief systems that use a cognitive mix and match approach to misunderstood vocabulary words from science religion and philosophy with just enough ambiguity to allow the reader the privilege to create their own personal myth an approach that sells books However this does not provide an answer The approach is not to prove God but to first establish the necessary scaffold; that we are individual unique beings who exist for infinity
