Physics and metaphysics

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Dr Jacob reports (Physics Bulletin April 1975) that high energy physicists believe they are close on the trail of 'the fundamental building block' of 'everyday experience' and the unifying theory which will link it all together. But someone should point out that the fundamental particle is necessarily metaphysical.
