During the past couple of decades, a fair number of popular books about time travel have been published by practicing physicists -- Stephen W. Hawking, Kip Thorne and Michio Kaku, to mention a few.
Practicing physicists and engineers as well as ballistic and military experts will find the extensive observations and analyses presented in this book useful in developing predictive models.
The operationalist point of view, first expounded at length in that book, initially found many advocates among practicing physicists and those inspired by the tradition of American pragmatism or the new philosophy of logical positivism.
We show that solving authentic, complex biology problems requires many of the same skills that practicing physicists and biologists use in representing problems, seeking relationships, making predictions, and verifying or checking solutions.
The great majority of practicing medical physicists, however, closely resemble Clements: They hold professional certification based on a master's degree, have done a residency, and have passed written and oral certification exams.
Where else will you find a Buddhist monk chatting with a Jungian analyst over lunch, Deepak Chopra talking about enlightenment to a roomful of quantum physicists, or a Catholic priest in yoga pants practicing his downward dog?
Since the early days physicians practicing treatment with ionizing radiations have worked in close collaboration with physicists, and much of the fundamental research has been undertaken by radiation physicists working alongside their medical colleagues.
In practice, we physicists have never managed to measure anything to more than about 17 decimal places.
Why, in practice, are physicists unaware of underdetermination?
