DOI: 10.1063/1.3023516
There are many people who assert that physics is not “human”; in the view of these people, the methods of physical research and the results obtained from it do not touch on those values, emotions and sentiments we associate with the word “human.” Physics, they claim, has little to do with human relations, with those experiences that are of importance in the world of feelings and emotions, with our being members of a family and a human society or with any contacts of one human being with another.
