Out of This World Hyman Frankel Have physicists discovered the most elementary particle, the ultimate 'bricks' of which all the matter in the Universe is composed? This is one the fundamental questions that Frankel tackles in this wide-ranging book. He explores the background to modern physics and cosmology, tracing the origins of its philosophy in past systems, especially Newton’s. But he probes more deeply, seeking an explanation for the particular approach taken by the scientific establishment to the ‘big questions’ in the economic and social system in which it arose. He also examines the
scientific evidence, which he shows to be increasingly at odds with the
establishment's continued belief that the answer to the question
posed above is ‘Yes’. He pays tribute to the minority of dissidents,
who are challenging the established orthodoxy, but whose views are
denied publicity in the popular media. The book is written to be understood by the interested lay person, but is also addressed to the professional physicist, cosmologist and philosopher. ISBN
