It is neither an anthology of disconnected items nor a smoothly running textbook but rather a progress report on a neglected yet vital area of basic physical research, namely foundations research. The investigation into the foundations of any branch of science is neither loose speculation nor popular science: it is an aspect of scientific research - in fact the deepest-searching part of basic research. Con sequently it must be carried out by the scientist himself. Thus whether the time concept is a numerical variable or a function, whether particle mechanics is the primary mechanical theory or a particular case of continuum mechanics, whether transformation formulas are laws of nature or links between equivalent descriptions, whether thermodynamics has been fully reduced to statistical mechanics, whether the field concept is dispensable, whether the covariance principle is a law or a regulative principle, whether quantum mechanics is completely detached from classical physics or contains fragments of it, whether it has annihilated the physical object or given a | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1967 | 关键词 | continuum mechanics; dynamics; mechanics; physics; quantum mechanics; science; statistical mechanics; therm | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-86102-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-86104-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-86102-4Series ISSN 0081-8577 | issn_series | 0081-8577 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1967 |
