《物理学的困惑》是理论物理学家李·斯莫林对当代基础物理学困境的深刻反思。本书系统剖析了弦理论主导下理论物理学的僵局, 指出其数学形式化倾向与实验验证脱节的危机。斯莫林通过分析超对称理论预测失败、暗物质探测困境等案例, 揭示了现代物理学在追求“万物理论”过程中遭遇的方法论困境。作者呼吁回归爱因斯坦式的物理直觉, 倡导多元化研究路径, 为理解当代科学革命提供了批判性视角。

“The Trouble with Physics” by theoretical physicist Lee Smolin offers a profound critique of the current impasse in fundamental physics. The book systematically analyzes the stalemate in theoretical physics under dominance of string theory, pointing out the crisis of the disconnect between its mathematical formalization tendency and experimental verification. Smolin revealed the methodological dilemma encountered by modern physics in the pursuit of the "theory of everything" by analyzing case studies including failed supersymmetry predictions and dark matter detection challenges. The author advocates for a return to Einsteinian physical intuition and diversified research approaches, providing a critical perspective for understanding the contemporary scientific revolution.
