What guides a physicist from an interesting question to a theory that can be tested? In The Physicist’s Way, Nobel Prize–winning physicist P. James E. Peebles examines the assumptions, habits, and shared standards that shape research in physics.
Moving between quantum theory and the expanding universe, Peebles discusses how physicists evaluate explanations, confront inconsistencies, and connect predictions with observation. He also considers the discipline’s culture and its relationship with ideas from philosophy and the history of science.
This thoughtful book suits physics students, researchers, and curious readers seeking a deeper understanding of scientific reasoning and how knowledge develops within one of the natural sciences’ most influential fields.
