Foundations of Physics

Foundations of Physics

Foundations of Physics is the most prestigious journal in physics on the subject of foundational problems facing modern physics. It publishes only a handful of papers each month from prominent physicists, in contrast to the American Physical Society’s Physical Review series of publications that often contain tens of papers in every edition.

The roster of its current and past editorial board includes several Nobel laureates including such influential scientists as Louis de Broglie; Robert H. Dicke; Murray Gell-Mann; Abdus Salam; Ilya Prigogine; Nathan Rosen and many others. In January 2007, the 1999 Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft replaced Prof. Alwyn Van Der Merwe as the Chief Editor, and Foundations of Physics Letters was incorporated into it.
