The Perfect Theory (Edno G. Ferreira, 2014)

-
Review: Interesting history of how scientist debunk or agrees and further enforces each others' theories. Many of them know each other in fact. Not an encyclopaedia, a good enough material to keep the research going if you want to know more about the history. Rated: 7.5/10


  • Andromeda: nebule, blue shift (move closer); red shift (move away)
  • Interspersed: scatter among or between other things
  • Kaluza-Klein theory: a classical unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism built around the idea of a fifth dimension beyond the usual for of space and time and considered an important precursor to string theory
  • Fermat’s Last Theorem: no 3 positive integers a, b and c satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n for any integer value of n greater than 2
  • Particles in the universe: fermions (made up most stuff) & bosons (particles that carry the forces of nature)
  • Pauli exclusion principle: no two fermions can occupy the same physical state
  • 2nd law of thermodynamics states that the entropy, or level of disorder, of a system always increases
  • Rovelli and Smolin’s theory: if you were able to look at distances of a trillionth of a trillionth of a centimeter there would be no space, just the frame or network
  • BICEP2 telescope, fitted with 512 cryogenic transition-edge sensors, precisely mapped the CMB emanating from a small slice of sky at a frequency of 150 GHz

GeneraliSation The The Meta Model generaliSations make explicit the way we summarise and categorise our experiences. Generalisations are basically the rules we use to manage life. There are usually exceptions or counter examples to rules. These rules and categories create self-imposed or company wide limitations. Examining these limitations is a powerful problem solving strategy. By generalising one or a few experiences, we can figure out what to do in a different experience. We learn to drive a particular car, and then use that experience to drive a new one. If we weren’t able to generalise, we would have to learn how to drive all over again. Problem Solving Examining categories and generalisations is an excellent creative problem solving strategy. What are the experiences that come to mind when you think of money for instance?
