PHYSICS: IS THERE A NEW PARADIGM NEEDED?

Are we satisfied with the concepts and formulae that we find in current Physics? Do they explain all the phenomena?  What about gravity, to mention just only one of them?

No doubt that along the 20th. Century, Physics saw big progress and tookd gigantic steps.

But now, from the perspective of the 21st. Century, some of that progress started to show that it is not enough to explain new things that are discovered –in Astronomy and in the sub-atomic world--  that defy old concepts.

There is a sensation that we are going through a very special moment in history in which we can expect new and very revolutionary concepts to come. Ideas that will create a new Physics.

With this in mind, we want to share with you some material for your reflection, that we hope you will find not only interesting but also inspiring.

Enjoy your reading!

"FÍSICA: ¿SE NECESITA UN NUEVO PARADIGMA?".Sin duda que se necesita otro paradígma en física pero el tema es muy académico y no creo que afecte a la investigación de campo que debería seguir guiandose por las teorías oficiales.
Ese es el método, los físicos teoricos contrastan el trabajo de los fsicos experimentales y viceversa.
