More about the book

The book explores the intersection of fashion, belief, and imagination with the scientific pursuit of understanding the universe. Roger Penrose, a renowned physicist, challenges the notion that theoretical physicists operate solely on empirical evidence, suggesting that trends and even fantastical ideas can influence groundbreaking research. By delving into these unexpected connections, Penrose illuminates how creativity and unconventional thinking can play crucial roles in advancing scientific knowledge at the frontiers of physics.
