Elements in the Foundations of Contemporary Physics explores some of the most significant questions and discussions currently taking place in modern physics. The series is accessible to physicists and philosophers and historians of science, and has a strong focus on cutting-edge topics of research such as quantum information, cosmology, and big data.
Topics covered include:
Richard Dawid is Professor in the Philosophy of Science at Stockholm University and specialises in the philosophy of contemporary physics, particularly that of non‐empirical theory assessment. In 2013 he published ‘String Theory and the Scientific Method’ and in 2019 he co‐edited a second book titled ‘Why Trust a Theory’ (both published by Cambridge University Press).
James Wells is Professor in Physics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and his research specialises in theoretical cosmology, with a particular focus on foundational questions in fundamental physics such as gauge symmetries, CP violation, naturalness and cosmological history. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
