The basis of this conversation is Tony Leggett's book The Problems of Physics and further, explores the insightful plain-speaking itemization that he developed of the physics landscape according to four basic categories, the very small (particle physics), the very large (cosmology), the very complex (condensed matter physics) and the very unclear (foundations of quantum theory) while providing a thoughtful follow-up analysis from a contemporary perspective to assess, how much progress we've made and which, mysteries remain or have, come on the scene, since the book was published. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, The Gentleman Laureate, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: I. Back to the Future -Setting the Stage II. The Very Small -Much the same III. The Very Large -Cosmology IV. A Glassy Digression -The perils of affirming the consequent V. The Very Complex -Condensed matter physics meets quantum information VI. Understanding -What it actually means VII. Different Regimes -Nature's Scales VIII. Schrödinger's Cat -Different domains? IX. The Slings and Arrows of Time -Irreversible? X. The Anthropic Principle -Better left unsaid? XI. The Future of Physics -From Louis Armstrong to topological quantum computing [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14420936 [pa] => [series] => Ideas Roadshow Conversations [publisher] => Open Agenda Publishing Inc.
