Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258839543)

""Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge"" is a collection of essays written by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr. The book explores the relationship between atomic physics and philosophy, arguing that our understanding of the physical world is deeply intertwined with our philosophical beliefs. Bohr discusses the role of language and communication in scientific inquiry, the limitations of classical physics, and the implications of quantum mechanics for our understanding of reality. He also examines the ethical and social implications of scientific progress, including the potential dangers of nuclear technology. Written in clear and accessible language, ""Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge"" offers a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century.This is a new release of the original 1961 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
