Review
'... these lectures ... are interesting as a summary of the difficult ideas in both disiplines.' New Scientist
Book Description
Drawn from the 1993 Cambridge Tarner lectures, From Physics to Metaphysics is concerned with the ultimate nature of reality, and how this is revealed by modern physical theories. This non-technical approach also examines the prospects for a 'Theory of Everything', and how we can assess scientific progress.
