9/24/17 review of book The Analysis of Matter, by Bertrand Russell


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book The Analysis of Matter, by Bertrand Russell.

The thread gives a summary of the book, some context on my experience of Russell's work, and my opinions about Russell, Euclidean geometry, and post-relativity physics. The thread discusses concepts in the book such as the matter, space, and time; finding predictable effects in physics; and perception and physical theory. I discuss some of my own thoughts, after having read the book, about the history of physics in relation to this book, the history of Russell's works in relation to this book, and the idea of physics as a logically open system.
