Product Description
On Space and Time
Review
'... a unique collection of essays. ... The non-specialist might struggle with some of the mathematic vocabulary but the philosophical content is thought provoking ... a worthwhile read.' Federation of Astronomical Societies Newsletter
'... an attractive little book, featuring some highly original thinkers. The chapters by Penrose and Connes are especially good and easily worth the price of the book alone.' Mathematical Reviews

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This book gets to the heart of science by asking a fundamental question about its essence: what is the true nature of space and time? Both defy modern physics, and scientists find themselves continually searching for answers. This unique volume brings together world leaders in cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, mathematics, philosophy and theology, to provide fresh insights into the deep structure of space and time. In an attempt to understand the question, subjects ranging from dark matter to the philosophical and theological implications of spacetime are covered, ensuring that the issue is thoroughly explored. Interesting and thought-provoking answers provide a well-rounded read. Seller Inventory # ABE-1707240381722
