Review of Ten Keys to Reality (Reviews of popular science #2)

4.9/5 (19429 ratings)

Description:Review and analysis are an important part of scientific research. This is an in-depth technical review of Fundamentals: ten keys to reality by the theoretical physicist, mathematician, and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek. Contrary to what Wilczek promises, we will not find “ten broad principles” in his book, but rather a conflation of some truly fundamental facts —including that all matter in the universe is made up of combinations of very few ingredients—, with unimportant comments like the universe is huge, and with common misconceptions about quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, field theory, thermodynamics, and general relativity. A common misconception found in Ten Keys To Reality is the claim that the observable universe has a radius of 13800 million light-years, because light was only able to travel 13800 million years.Overall, Wilczek’s book not only provides a rather flawed and outdated view of what modern physics says about nature, but also contains serious mistakes and incomplete data on chemistry, biology, and other disciplines beyond physics. It is shocking to see a Nobel laureate affirm that “table salt” is a regular array of two types of atoms, when even chemistry courses for kids explain that salt is an ionic component made up of an equal number of anions (negative ions) and cations (positive ions). Ten Keys To Reality is also littered with rewrites of the history of physics and amusing claims about technology. A couple of parts of his book are enjoyable, specially the one where, contrary to most of his colleagues, Wilczek openly admits that even in the hypothetical case that we did achieve a complete understanding of the fundamental laws of nature, this would be neither the theory of everything nor the end of science.No prior reading of Wilczek’s book is necessary, but the parts, chapters, sections, subsections, and the appendix in this review correspond to those in Wilczek’s book for ease of comparison. The author of this review has conducted multidisciplinary research ranging from the biogeochemistry and hydrodynamics of estuaries to the development of a new formulation of quantum mechanics without wavefunctions and an alternative to the dark matter paradigm. This book is the second in a series of popular science book reviews.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
