This book gives a short presentation of the triad
philosophy-physics-technology against the background of the common
origin in ancient times. This is the first English edition of this
book, previously published in German. The emergence of the book has
been described in the foreword of the first German edition. This
edition is updated and extended, whereby new physical research
results and technological innovations were included: - The physics
of space and time after the experimental detection of gravitational
waves (Nobel Prize for Physics 2017). - The New International
System of Units (SI) for Physics and Technology which is completely
based on natural constants and entered into force on World
Metrology Day, 20 May 2019. - Actual overview of basic
technologies: Material, Energy, Information. - Technologies for the
"Digital World" of information and communication. - Mechatronic and
Cyber-physical systems for Industry 4.0. The significance of
technology for the world in the 21st century is discussed in the
final section of the book.
