hello. I'm studying philosophy, I'm going with a scholarship in France. I'm very interested in physics, particularly in quantum physics, and universe formation, laws,etc. I'm not directly interested to find books, or get an advice what to read. i want to discuss some issues with someone that knows these topics, and have some patience with me. i don't know formulas, or complex equations in physics, i am more interested in the theories themselves, without the part of calculus.
so if you can help me, i really would appreciate your gesture.
this is because is don't have much free time, nor to study like i want to, nor to have the patience to listen someone face to face.

tks, and hope to talk soon.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can read Bohm's Quantum Theory
there are many fantastic philosophy ideas in this book

This is my personal opinion about your question.

I suggest you get some popular science books on QM and read them, as they wil provide all the information without the mathematics involved.

Books and science reviews would be a good place to look, on this forum.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
