“The Peacekeepers and the Women”With quantum mechanics, the explanation of the structure of matter, and the uncertainty principle, a great revolution was concluded. The last 60 years brought no truly novel intellectual developments, but there were some extremely important and widely known practical consequences. Here I shall talk mostly about theory.

Statics,In Chapter 1 we did not discuss physics. Instead, we discussed the framework into which physics seems to fit in a most appropriate way. The beginnings of what we now call physics can be easily traced back to the Greeks, although they were not interested in the erratic and “unnatural” behavior of matter in motion. Their interest was in statics.

Hypotheses Non Fingo,The title of this chapter is a boast of Newton’s: “I do not make hypotheses.” More than two centuries after the publication of the .,Einstein shook this unshakable edifice. There is little question that he did make some hypotheses. They turned out to be incredibly fruitful.

Statistical Mechanics,One of the important uses of the theory of atoms (or the combination of atoms called molecules) was to explain the phenomena of heat by the motion of the molecules. The point is that the motion of molecules need not be followed in detail. Statistics suffice. Hence the name “statistical mechanics.”

The Uncertainty Principle,When we discussed the wave-particle dualism, we saw that particles and waves behave in the same manner to a surprising extent. But, of course, they still are completely different.
