Physics In Crisis: From Multiverses To Fake News
Today's physics has led to incredible advances in the technology we use in daily life — from cell phones and GPS systems to PET scans and more. Current theories in physics have been amazingly effective in practical terms. Yet all is far from well: the two foundational concepts in physics — Quantum Theory and General Relativity — are incompatible with each other, and observations of the universe show that our theories are incomplete — at best.While physicists have tried to paper over this impasse by inventing dark matter and dark energy, they remain unobserved mysteries. Adding fuel to the fire of current crises, artificial intelligence threatens to replace our most cherished theories...
All Of Physics (Almost) In 15 Equations
'Mansoulié here demonstrates his talent for communicating physics to non-scientists, his target audience for this brief, readable, volume.'CHOICEThe book comprises 15 short chapters, each presenting an important equation of Physics, from the simplest and oldest, to more complex and recent ones. The target audience is the interested general public, hence no mathematics is involved (beyond the simple expression of each equation).What can a professional 'read' in an equation? Does one see a rainbow differently when one knows the law of refraction of light? Do some equations tell more than what they were invented for? The book presents an opportunity to think about the nature of the physical laws (without writing a philosophy treatise): are they written in advance, or only the result of our imagination?Memories and personal quotes in the book underline the intimate relation between a scientist and his research, and the interplay with his personal life. Each chapter is illustrated by a full page artistic drawing by Lison Bernet, sometimes kind, sometimes funny, and always poetic.
Physique en crises
Cet ouvrage évoque sans complaisance les grandes crises que traverse aujourd'hui la Physique. Ces questions vont bien au-delà de la Physique, et même de la Science : il s'agit d'une crise globale de nos représentations du monde. Le signe le plus frappant en est que dans notre société qui utilise toujours plus de science et de technologie, on assiste en même temps au déchaînement des croyances les plus irrationnelles, allant jusqu'aux « fake news ». Comprendre comment nous construisons nos lois physiques permet de mieux comprendre l'origine de cette crise et son état actuel. Pour le futur, l'arrivée de nouvelles façons de penser liées à l'Intelligence artificielle, ajoute-t-elle à la crise, ou offre-t-elle des solutions ? Pourra-t-on enfin réconcilier le public avec la Science ?
Toute la physique [ou presque] en 15 équations
La mécanique quantique, la cosmologie et la physique des particules fascinent, mais comment ne pas se sentir écrasé sous les montagnes de signes cabalistiques qu’elles manipulent ? Ne craignez plus les équations ! Laissez Bruno Mansoulié vous guider pour appréhender ce langage mathématique, de l’élégance de ses graphismes à l’étendue de ses conséquences. Les équations de la physique sont autant de portes d’entrée pour percer les secrets de l’Univers... Mieux : leur langage universel révèle l’incomparable beauté du monde qui nous entoure. Chacune des quinze équations présentées par l’auteur est illustrée par un dessin plein d’humour et de poésie de Lison Bernet.
Theoretical Physics to Face the Challenge of LHC
The book gathers the lecture notes of the Les Houches Summer School that was held in August 2011 for an audience of advanced graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in particle physics, theoretical physics, and cosmology, areas where new experimental results were on the verge of being discovered at CERN. Every Les Houches School has its own distinct character. This one was held during a summer of great anticipation that at any moment contact might be made with the most recent theories of the nature of the fundamental forces and the structure of space-time. In fact, during the session, the long anticipated discovery of the Higgs particle was announced. The book vividly describes the fruit...
Calorimetry In High Energy Physics - Proceedings Of The International Conference
Calorimetry is rapidly gaining recognition as a primary detection technique for high energy, high luminosity machines. Calorimetry is fast developing; old techniques, like scintillator plates or liquid argon, are defined to achieve their ultimate performance. New techniques, like warm liquids or scintillating fibers, are tested in several setups. The conference is intended to review the advancement of calorimetry and plans for new R&D.
Calorimetry In High Energy Physics - Proceedings Of The 2nd International Conference
This volume is an almost exhaustive review of what physicists are doing (and intend to do for the future hadron colliders LHC and SSC) in the field of calorimetry in high energy physics.It is divided into two parts. The first comprises a series of invited papers which illustrate the state of the art in the field. The second is made up of contributed papers on calorimetry for LHC and SSC.

Toute la physique en 15 équations (ou presque)
La mécanique quantique, la cosmologie et la physique des particules fascinent, mais comment ne pas se sentir écrasé sous les montagnes de signes cabalistiques qu'elles manipulent ? Tout simplement en y regardant d'un peu plus près ! répond l'auteur, l'un des artisans du LHC, le gigantesque accélérateur du Cern : les équations de la physique sont autant de portes d'entrée pour percer les secrets de l'Univers... Mieux : leur langage universel révèle l'incomparable beauté du monde qui nous entoure.
