Overview

Invited Lecture on “Changing Paradigm in Physics” Department of Physics, Sharda School of Engineering & Science (SSES) is organizing a Guest lecture on Changing Paradigm in Physics.

This lecture delves into how scientific understanding in physics evolves through transformative shifts in foundational concepts. From Newtonian mechanics to quantum physics and beyond, we explore how revolutions in thought reshape the way we interpret the natural world.

Objectives of Event

The theme of the lecture on changing Paradigm in physics to explore how scientific understanding evolves through shifts in fundamental concept of the physics.

The main objective of this lecture as below:

  1. Understanding the concept of a paradigm shift.
  2. Exploring the reasons for paradigm shifts.
  3. Examining the implications of paradigm shifts.
  4. Providing a critical perspective.
