A PHYSICIST'S GUIDE TO SKEPTICISM
was published by Prometheus Books in 1988.
(ISBN 0-87975-440-0) This book is a thorough application of the laws of
physics to topics of interest in the field of skepticism. How do we know
perpetual motion is impossible? How do we know you can't make energy out of
nothing? We learn that the laws of nature are of two kinds: Laws of
Permission and Laws of Denial. Laws of Permission tell us what kind of actions
nature allows. Laws of Denial tell us what kind of actions nature does not
allow. We find that it is easier to say what is impossible than what is
possible. We learn about verification and falsification, and we learn what is
a proper theory.
