S. Kim Categories: physics.hist-ph physics.pop-ph Comments: Latex 10 pages with 6 figures, based on an invited presented at the 32nd Congress of the Italian Society of Historians of Physics and Astronomy (Rome, Italy, September 2012) License: http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ \\ It is known that Einstein's conceptual base for his theory of relativity was the philosophy formulated by Immanuel Kant. Things appear differently to observers in different frames. However, Kant's Ding-an-Sich leads to the existence of the absolute reference frame which is not acceptable in Einstein's theory. It is possible to avoid this conflict using the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism where two different views can co-exist in harmony. This is not enough to explain Einstein's discovery of the mass-energy relation. The energy-momentum relations for slow and ultra-fast particles take different forms. Einstein was able to synthesize these two formulas to create his energy-mass relation. Indeed, this is what Hegelianism is about in physics. Isaac Newton synthesized open orbits for comets and closed orbits for planets to create his second law of motion. Maxwell combined electricity and magnetism to create his four equations to the present-day wireless world. In order to synthesize wave and particle views of matter, Heisenberg formulated his uncertainty principle. Relativity and quantum mechanics are the two greatest theories formulated in the 20th Century. Efforts to synthesize these two theories are discussed in detail. \\ Contains: cokebell01.eps: 83255 bytes comet77.eps: 150945 bytes dirackn33.eps: 306585 bytes further07.eps: 289529 bytes hegel.tex: 18669 bytes kanthegel600.eps: 121285 bytes tao06.eps: 734125 bytes --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe to this list, please either visit the web page https://LISTSERV.UMD.EDU/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=PHYS-CONFERENCE-ANNOUNCE or send a SIGNOFF PHYS-CONFERENCE-ANNOUNCE command a to [log in to unmask] If you have difficulty with the above, please email [log in to unmask]
