Abstract

Can science fully comprehend the whole of the material universe? Not according to Joe Rosen.There is no question that advancements in science—especially in physics—have radically changed our concept of nature, revolutionizing our view of the universe, even of reality itself. Rosen argues, though, that the material universe in its entirety lies beyond science. Anyone who claims otherwise, who proposes a scientific Theory of Everything to explain all aspects and phenomena of nature, only misleads and misinforms. Taking science—and the scientific method—down a peg, Rosen asserts that any understanding of the whole universe, if it is to be found at all, can come only from outside science, from nonscientific modes of comprehension and insight. He believes that popularizers of science—think Stephen Hawking and Richard Dawkins—are mistaken when they declare that science is on the verge of unlocking all the secrets of the universe. Perhaps without realizing it, they have crossed into the realm of metaphysics in an attempt to explain the unexplainable. In Lawless Universe Rosen explores just how far science can go in comprehending nature. He considers the separate—but entangled—domains of science and metaphysics and examines the all-too-often ignored boundary between the objective and the subjective. Thought-provoking and controversial, Lawless Universe is a complement to, even an antidote for, books that create the misimpression that science can explain everything.

Abstract

This book compiles selected papers from the Proceedings of the 1st International Online Conference on Nanomaterials, held 1-15 September, 2018 on sciforum.net, an online platform for hosting scholarly e-conferences and discussion groups. It targets a broad readership of physicists, chemists, materials scientists, biologists, environmentalists, and nanotechnologists, and provides interesting examples of the most recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials.

Abstract

Le présent ouvrage dresse un panorama mondial de la diversité et de la complémentarité des réacteurs de recherche, dont un certain nombre ont été ou sont encore utilisés pour y mener notamment des expérimentations indispensables au développement et à l'exploitation des réacteurs électronucléaires, y compris en rapport avec des questions de sûreté. Cet ouvrage met en évidence les multiples utilisations de ces réacteurs qui, de conceptions très diverses, mobilisent des quantités très variées de substances radioactives présentant des risques plus ou moins importants pour la sûreté ou la radioprotection et dont l'ancienneté ou l'inutilisation pour nombre d'entre eux nécessitent des dispositions appropriées pour maîtriser le vieillissement ou l'obsolescence de certains de leurs équipements, ainsi que, aux plans organisationnel et humain, pour en maintenir une exploitation sûre. Pour certains réacteurs de recherche, des aspects de sûreté et de radioprotection sont à considérer en tenant compte de la présence simultanée, au sein de ces réacteurs, de deux types d'opérateurs : le personnel d'exploitation du réacteur, des opérateurs de dispositifs expérimentaux utilisant les neutrons issus du réacteur pour des besoins de recherche fondamentale ou appliquée. Deux chapitres spécifiques sont dédiés aux normes de sûreté établies sous l'égide de l'AIEA pour les réacteurs de recherche et aux accidents sérieux, notamment de criticité ou de réactivité, survenus dans des réacteurs de recherche. La deuxième partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée aux réacteurs de recherche français, notamment au dispositif réglementaire et aux textes officiels qui leurs sont applicables, au retour d'expérience tiré en France d'événements significatifs et d'accidents survenus - y compris à l'étranger celui, en 2011, de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima Daiichi -, à la prise en compte d'accidents de réactivité pour la conception des réacteurs de recherche français, ainsi qu'aux réexamens de sûreté décennaux pratiqués en France.

Abstract

Understanding the origins of the Universe and how it works and evolves is the present mission of a large community of physicists. It calls for a large scale vision, involving general relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology. Theoretical physics is presently at an important moment in its history. As predicted by Einstein, gravitational waves have been experimentally proven to exist. With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the set of interactions and elementary particles that is called the "standard model" (SM), is complete. Yet the Higgs boson itself, and how it breaks the electroweak symmetry, remains a fascinating subject requiring further studies and verification. Furthermore, several experimental facts are not accounted for by the SM: (i) the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, (ii) the nature and origin of dark matter, and (iii) the origin of neutrino masses; these have no unique, if any, explanation in the SM and yet will require answers from particle physics. We need to explore further both SM and its extensions. This is a subject of papers included in this book, which gives representation to the topics discussed during the Matter to the Deepest conference in 2019 in Poland (http://indico.if.us.edu.pl/event/5).
