Bit-string Physics: A Finite & Discrete Approach To Natural Philosophy Hardback
Edited by Henry Pierre (Stanford Linear Accelerator Ctr, Usa) Noyes, J C (Wageningen Univ, The Netherlands) Van Den Berg
Part of the Series on Knots & Everything series
Hardback
Description
We could be on the threshold of a scientific revolution.
Quantum mechanics is based on unique, finite, and discrete events.
General relativity assumes a continuous, curved space-time.
Reconciling the two remains the most fundamental unsolved scientific problem left over from the last century.
The papers of H Pierre Noyes collected in this volume reflect one attempt to achieve that unification by replacing the continuum with the bit-string events of computer science.
Three principles are used: physics can determine whether two quantities are the same or different; measurement can tell something from nothing; this structure (modeled by binary addition and multiplication) can leave a historical record consisting of a growing universe of bit-strings.
This book is specifically addressed to those interested in the foundations of particle physics, relativity, quantum mechanics, physical cosmology and the philosophy of science.
