Physics: The Opening to Complexity

Philip W. Anderson

Working Papers from Santa Fe Institute

Abstract: In the minds of the lay public, or even of scientists from unrelated fields, physics is mainly associated with extremes: big bangs and big bucks; the cosmic and the subnucleonic scales; matter in its most rarefied form such as single trapped atoms; or measurements of extraordinary precision to detect phenomena--dark matter, proton decay, neutrino masses--which may well not be there at all.
