Essentials of Deductive Physics
Foundation for the great theories of physics
Language: English
Release Date: December 29, 2014
It is not nature imposing itself with concepts and laws, instead these have to be invented as hypotheses and validated in experiment. The touchstone for perception in deductive physics are the laws of inductive physics. Thus it is standing on the shoulders of giants from Kepler to the inventors of the Standard Model.
