Synopsis
Tracing the history of the most fundamental physics concepts, "Inventing Reality" shows that physics is not the discovery of the ready-made laws of nature, but an imaginative vision of how the world might be put together. The book uses unscientific language to explain complex ideas, and draws on the work of such modern physicists as Bohr, Einstein and Weinberg to demonstrate the 20th-century origins of seemingly radical ideas.
