This thesis investigates what tools are appropriate for answering the question how it is possible to develop such a complex theory in physics as the standard model of particle physics with only an access via electromagnetic interaction of otherwise unobservable objects and their interactions it was investigated what the tools are to do this.

Poets and novelists are renowned for their use of analogy, metaphor and simile, which allow them to identify parallels and transfer features between differing domains. Indeed, we all use these kinds of descriptions on a daily basis. As Forrest Gump famously remarked in the movie of the same name, "life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what ...

Analogy and falsification in Descartes’ physics
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2012In this paper I address Descartes’ use of analogy in physics. First, I introduce Descartes’ hypothetical reasoning, distinguishing between analogy and hypothesis. Second, I examine in detail Descartes’ use of analogy to both discover causes and add plausibility to his hypotheses—even though not always explicitly stated, Descartes’ practice assumes a ...

Enkephalin analogs and physical dependence.
The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1980A novel method of drug delivery, the osmotic minipump, was used to measure the ability of morphine and eight enkephalin analogs to produce physical dependence. After 3 days of morphine or peptide infusions into the rat brain, the dependent state was established and revealed by naloxone challenge; escape behavior, shaking, tachycardia and an increased ...

Analog input device physical characteristics
ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 1993When selecting a device, a designer should compare alternative devices point-by-point. When making a tentative decision, one needs to know what other possibilities have been locked out. A classification graph does this.New here is this classification graph.

Salience of Representations and Analogies in Physics
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007This paper focuses on the dynamics as students reason using analogies. We describe analogical scaffolding, a model of cognitive processes by which students can use prior knowledge to learn new material, and apply this model to demonstrate its utility in describing the dynamics of student reasoning about EM waves in an interview. The present finegrained

The Physics and Poetry of Analogy
Victorian Studies, 2014The literary critic, accustomed to associate nineteenth-century physics with industrialization, is likely to regard it as a preemi nently material and practical pursuit. But Victorian natural philosophy achieved as much as it did in part because it was profoundly engaged in theoretical questions, one of the most significant of which was the truth ...

The mathematics-physics analogy
1995The basic goal of this chapter is to delve deeply into Godel’s second great strategy in the philosophy of mathematics: the analogy between deductive and empirical sciences. Moreover, I shall try to explore the holistic, and even conventionalist implications of the analogy, such as it appears in some contemporary philosophers of mathematics who have ...

The equations describing force and energy of some physical domains are analog to each other. Therefore, a solution found, for example, for a mechanical system may help finding the corresponding solution for a fluidic system, and an equivalent electrical circuit can approximately describe, for instance, a thermal microsystem.

The Origin of Analogies in Physics
2006The paper gives the reasons for analogies in physics showing that they arise from the natural link between global physical variables and the space elements, i.e. points, lines, surfaces and volumes.
