The Trouble With Physics: The Rise of String Theory, The Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next

98 reviews
Lee Smolin

Mariner Books, 2007

Good Book, Alternative View
Lee Smolin presents his case not for why string theory should be dropped, but why other theories should be pursued more vigorously. Rather than demonizing string theory, Smolin looks at the theory's successes and failures and then moves beyond that to discussing the sociology of science in general, and this is his main issue. Smolin says the system is set up to keep alternative theories out, ...

A theory of quantum gravity by 2015!
Lee Smolin's promise of a full theory of quantum gravity by 2015 concludes this book. Along the way to that conclusion Smolin takes the reader on a comprehensible and lucid tour the current state of the search for a unified theory of quantum gravity. In this way, Smolin introduces the reader to his "three roads to quantum gravity" being: 1) The road from relativity or those classical ...

Cosmological natural selection
Lee Smolin's speculative book is revolutionary. For him, physics are not mathematics, but biology. Cosmology is a question of natural selection. This selection happens via black holes, where universes are created with slightly different random new values for the parameters of the standard model in physics. There are no eternal laws, only worlds which are the result of random and statistical ...

Three Roads to Quantum Gravity (Science Masters)
Lee Smolin

Phoenix (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2001

The Holy Grail of modern physics is the search for a `quantum gravity' view of the universe that unites Einstein's general relativity with quantum theory. Until recently, these two foundational pillars of modern science have seemed incompatible: relativity deals exclusively with the universe at the large scale (planets, solar systems and galaxies), whereas quantum theory is restricted to the domain of the very small (molecules, atoms, ...

The Life of the Cosmos
Lee Smolin

Oxford University Press, 1997

A radically new view of the nature of the universe that suggests that the cosmosas a whole is best understood not as mechanical and clockwork, but as complete and evolving, more akin to a living entity than a machine. Comparable in its acope and ambition to Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking, and readable than either.

Dudas De La Fisica En El Siglo Xxi
SMOLIN LEE, 2008

La teoria de cuerdas es un termino familiar no solo en la comunidad de los fisicos teoricos tambien ha logrado captar la atencion -y la imaginacion- de muchos legos. No es sorprendente ya que se trata de un ambicioso intento de formular una teoria que unifique todas las fuerzas y particulas elementales que existen en la naturaleza. Pretende describir lo grande y lo pequeno y para lograr tal fin incluye entre sus fundamentos hipotesis tan audaces ...
