Physics in Crisis discusses the current and deep crises affecting the discipline of Physics today and further the reasons to hope for their resolution. These crises are of three kinds: Societal: our society always uses more scientific advances, but the public has never once questioned the science utilised. Conceptual: on the theory side, the pillars of modern physics, Quantum Theory and General Relativity are irreconcilable. Also, Dark Matter and Dark Energy which were invented to explain our observations of the universe remain complete theoretical mysteries, mere speculation. Operational: Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we interpret our observations and organize our thoughts. Will there be a time when theories, like our beloved Quantum Theory and Relativity, will no longer be needed?It seems that physics is facing a global crisis in its basic program: how to represent our world. It is time to revisit this program: what is a theory (and a good theory!) in physics? What is the role of mathematics, of culture, of education, in elaborating and accepting a theory?Physicists dream of a new theory that would allow us to understand everything and instantly change the way we see our world, like Newton’s Gravity, Quantum Theory, or Relativity. The public also loves this romantic way of paradigm change. Will such a story happen again? Perhaps the next step will be based on algorithms and complexity theory?This book is intended for the general public, with simple presentations of the topics and personal reflections of an active physicist rooted in reality.Key FeaturesThis book is quite original in considering together three types of crises. Physics is facing a general crisis of the representation of Nature, with the three different crises deeply intertwinedThe last sections of the book are even more inspiring, as we may be able to devise a possible solution to the crises from this global viewFrom the long experience in outreach and interaction with the public, the author possesses the capability to capture the attention of the reader and gently lead her/him to ask her/himself deep questions on how we see the world
