Cosmology and Physics: | ![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||
I am a
non-mathematician and my knowledge of physics, apart from average
high-school basics, comes from 45 years of reading popular
accounts by eminent physicists and cosmologists.
My past professional activity, worlds apart from general
relativity and quantum mechanics, was in food science and
technology.
Yet, in studying the history of natural
sciences I found evidence that important philosophical
contributions have been made both by amateurs and by researchers
active in unrelated fields. It may even be that escape from a
blind alley actually benefits from views generated by outsiders,
including those lacking formal mathematical education.
In a scientific world of ever increasing specialisation, where
old-fashioned allrounders, knowing little of many disciplines
have all but disappeared, many a sorely needed impulse may well
come more from synopsis than insight.
I see this as my chance, believing that the
ideas and questions issuing from this basis deserve the scrutiny
of professional physicists and cosmologists.
Some of these thoughts have never been published or presented by professionals.
I hope to get answers and open discussions in the form of this "electronic poster session".
