  • Once Before Time

    A Whole Story of the Universe

    In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a twenty-seven-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity—a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics—to create a simple model of the universe. Loop quantum cosmology was born, and with it, a theory that managed to do something even Einstein’s general theory of ... Read more

  • Quantum Enigma : Physics Encounters Consciousness

    Physics Encounters Consciousness

    In trying to understand the atom physicists built quantum mechanics the most successful theory in science and the basis of one-third of our economy. They found to their embarrassment that with their theory physics encounters consciousness. Authors Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all this in non-technical terms with help from some fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory's ... Read more

  • The Nature of Space and Time (New in Paper)

    Series series Princeton Science Library
    Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united in a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? On this issue, two of the world's most famous ... Read more
