The universe it reveals doesn't rely on unknowable precursors in the ancient, untestable past. The universe it reveals won't collapse or grow old and die. Null Physics tells us why the universe exists, how the universe exists, and why it is the way it is"--Cover, p. 2.

Lost in math : how beauty leads physics astray / by Hossenfelder, Sabine,1976-author.(CARDINAL)677946;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-275) and index.The hidden rules of physics: in which I realize I don't understand physics anymore. I talk to friends and colleagues, see I'm not the only one confused, and set out to bring reason back to Earth -- What a wonderful world: in which I read a lot of books about dead people and find that everyone likes pretty ideas but that pretty ideas sometimes work badly. On a conference I begin to worry that physicists are about to discard the scientific method -- The state of the union: in which I sum up 10 years of education in 30 pages and chat about the glory days of particle physics -- Cracks in the foundations: in which I meet with Nima Arkani-Hamed and do my best to accept that nature isn't natural, everything we learn is awesome, and that nobody gives a fuck what I think -- Ideal theories: in which I search for the end of science but find that the imagination of theoretical physicists is endless. I fly to Austin, I let Steven Weinberg talk at me, and realize how much we do just to avoid boredom -- The incomprehensible comprehensibility of quantum mechanics: in which I ponder the difference between math and magic -- One to rule them all: in which I try to find out if anyone would care about the laws of nature if they weren't beautiful. I stop off in Arizona, where Frank Wilczek tells me his little Theory of Something, then I fly to Maui and listen to Garrett Lisi. I learn some ugly facts and count physicists -- Space, the final frontier: in which I try to understand a string theorist and almost succeed -- The universe, all there is, and the rest: in which I admire the many ways to explain why nobody sees the particles we invent -- Knowledge is power: in which I conclude the world were a better place if everyone listened to me -- Appendix A: The standard model particles -- Appendix B: The trouble with naturalness -- Appendix C: What you can do to help."Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth"--

Ten patterns that explain the universe / by Clegg, Brian,author.(CARDINAL)530574;
"How patterns--from diagrams of spacetime to particle trails revealed by supercolliders--offer clues to the fundamental workings of the physical world."--Amazon."Our universe might appear chaotic, but deep down it's simply a myriad of rules working independently to create patterns of action, force, and consequence. In Ten Patterns That Explain the Universe, Brian Clegg explores the phenomena that make up the very fabric of our world by examining ten essential sequenced systems. From diagrams that show the deep relationships between space and time to the quantum behaviors that rule the way that matter and light interact, Clegg shows how these patterns provide a unique view of the physical world and its fundamental workings. Guiding readers on a tour of our world and the universe beyond, Clegg describes the cosmic microwave background, sometimes called the "echo of the big bang," and how it offers clues to the universe's beginnings; the diagrams that illustrate Einstein's revelation of the intertwined nature of space and time; the particle trail patterns revealed by the Large Hadron Collider and other accelerators; and the simple-looking patterns that predict quantum behavior (and decorated Richard Feynman's van). Clegg explains how the periodic table reflects the underlying pattern of the configuration of atoms, discusses the power of the number line, demonstrates the explanatory uses of tree diagrams, and more."--Back cover.
