About this audiobook
The Physics of Evidence explores a critical question for the age of AI and autonomous machines: When software causes change in the physical world, how do we prove what actually happened?
Shannon W. Bray builds from physics fundamentals—measurement, uncertainty, motion, force, energy, waves, electricity, optics, and sensors—into robotics, cyber-physical systems, AI agents, and independent verification. Through practical examples, the course introduces Evidence Architecture, a framework for preserving the chain from observation and authority through action, physical consequence, custody, and verification.
Physics constrains what could have happened. Measurement establishes what was observed. Evidence Architecture preserves how we know. Independent verification tests what can actually be proved.
Ultimately, the audiobook asks one deceptively simple question:
What actually happened, and how do we know?
