Inhaltsangabe

According to Andrei Berezin of the Institute for Theoretical Problems in Moscow, Arthur Young's work "ranks alongside the achievements of the world's greatest thinkers." Young has not only laid the basis for a cosmology which accounts for freedom, action and control in the formulations of physics, but, while developing this remarkable body of work, has pointed out that science is disconnected from reality. Though it purports to deal with a real world, science is actually limited to an ideal one. In these two essays, on the limits of mathematics and the absence of the third derivative in theoretical physics, Young confronts this limitation. He patiently objects to the phantasm of modern mathematical theory and brilliantly reveals the positive contribution of the third derivative. Mathematics, Physics and Reality is a unique work that shows how, despite historical advances, "the errors and misconceptions of science" keep it from dealing with life.
