| Description | xxiii, 392p. |
| Contents Note | In this book author argues that physisc has lost its way. For more than two centuries, our understanding of the laws of nature expanded rapidly. But despite our best efforts, we know nothing more about these laws than we knew in the 1970s. He says one of the major problems is string theory: an ambitious attempt of formulate a "Theory of everything" that explains all the particles and forces of nature and how the universe came to be but there's a deep flaw in the theory: no part of it has been tested, and no one knows how to test it. A group of young theorists has begun to develop exciting ideas that, unlike string theory, are testable. |
