Description

 							
  
  Published
2013
  
  The book presents the conclusions of a psychologist seeking to make sense of contemporary particle
physics as described in a number of popular science texts and media articles, written by physicists, seeking to explain
the workings of the sub-atomic world. The accounts, it is argued, are a) mutually exclusive and contradictory, and b)
metaphysical or magical in essence.
  Themes of the book include: a discussion of the way we allow physicists to
invent things that have no perceivable qualities, on the grounds that they 'must' be there because otherwise their
preconceptions are wrong or their sums don't work; that, from a psychological perspective, contemporary theory in
particle physics has the same properties as any other act of faith, and the same limitations as belief in God; and that
physics has now reached a point at which increasingly physicists research their own psychological constructions rather
than anything which is unambiguously 'there' or real.
  It encourages people to ask basic questions of the type we
often use to question the existence of God; such as 'Where is he/it?', 'Show me?', 'Do it then', 'When did it happen?',
'How do you know it exists?', and so on, and suggests that people take a leaf out of Dawkins' text, The God Delusion,
but apply it to high-end physics as much as to religious dogma: turning water into wine is a mere conjuring trick
compared to producing an entire universe out of nothing.

  Review
  
  "God
Versus Particle Physics is a bold, witty and undoubtedly controversial book that questions our blind faith in science...
[It] is an enjoyable read, presenting a lot of food for thought and fuel for debate."
  
  (Bookbag)
 

  "Professor Davies has produced an amusing yet pointed full-frontal assault on science and scientists, especially
those physicists who are seeking 'the truth' at the very outer limits of what is knowable. He has chosen a style and
tone that will fan the flames of outrage that I am sure will come from some po-faced quarters. I can hear those howls
already. The book is a good read and it is all great fun."
  
  (James H. Vincent, PhD, DSc, FRSC, Professor
Emeritus, University of Michigan)
  
  "An eminently readable look at concepts such as the Big Bang and Dark
Matter used to explain the history of the universe. In a world where 'pure' science is often restrained within strict
disciplinary boundaries, Davies provides an account of the way in which physicists ― like the rest of us ―
are subject to earthly limitations when confronted with complexities that are hard to understand. From his viewpoint as
a psychologist, he brushes their sometimes mind blowing journey through space and time against the grain and casts light
on the uncertainties of our knowledge which too often attains the status of simple graspable truths. Refreshing and
entertaining."
  
  (Derek Heim, Professor of Psychology, Edge Hill University)
  
  "This witty,
erudite and down-to-earth book reveals that modern theories of physics are as frail with unverifiable beliefs as are
religions, due to the psychological processes and errors involved in theory formation. It also challenges all
self-serving certitude that a preferred theory or belief is literally true, presents relevant psychology and philosophy
of science in an accessible way, and does a good job of sketching physics theories without mathematics."
  
 
(Richard Hammersley, Professor of Health Psychology, University of Hull)
  
  "A book which, laudably, sets
the cat among the pigeons by making the case that religion and science are not the polar opposites many assume, and that
there's a 'no-score draw’ between the two."
  
  (Geoff Ward Suite 101)
