More about the book
Physics has been at an awkward impasse for the past century. Two theories-- quantum mechanics and general relativity--are widely believed to be true. . . . But they contradict each other in basic ways--they cannot both be entirely true. InFashion, Faith, and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe. . . Roger Penrose, an elder statesman of physics, considers the problem. As intellectually offbeat as he is eminent. . . he ventures here some novel ways in which the two theories might be reconciled.--Wall Street Journal
