The logic of modern physics

An experimentalist argues for a systematic re-examination of physics' interpretative foundations, insisting that empirical evidence—especially from relativity and the new quantum phenomena—forces a reconsideration of basic concepts such as space, time, and mechanics. The work traces how experimental anomalies have driven conceptual change, advocates grounding definitions and reasoning in observable operations and physiological origins of perception, and urges a coherent philosophy that unifies established domains and the novel, counterintuitive facts of the quantum realm while clarifying the aims and structure of physical theory.
