The Power of Principles: Physics Revealed is an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Nima Arkani-Hamed, faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and one of today’s leading particle physicists. This thought-provoking conversation explores how we discover the laws of nature, the “scientific method”, the relation between theory and experiment and how we can push our understanding well beyond where experiments can currently reach.
With his unbridled enthusiasm and engaging eloquence, Nima takes us inside the world of a working theoretical physicist, sharing his frustration at some of the ways that physics is communicated to the general public while revealing how he and his colleagues hope to be steered towards the truth without experiment to guide them.
This conversation has been released in a carefully-edited video format and as an enhanced book, while Nima Arkani-Hamed is also featured in 16 short documentaries – all details are below.
This enhanced book is available in electronic format on all major booksellers, including:
The Power of Principles: Physics Revealed is also part of the five-part Ideas Roadshow Collection, Conversations About Physics, Volume 1, which is available in hardcover, paperback and electronic format.
Nima Arkani-Hamed is featured in 16 short documentaries together with a large number of other leading physicists.
