Product Details
- What would fashionable ideas, blind faith, or fantasy do in scientific research to understand the universe? Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme limits of physics, like everyone else, can get caught up in fashionable tendencies, dogmatic beliefs and imaginary things. In this provocative book, Penrose discusses how fashion, faith, and fantasy seduce today's researchers in string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, and even describes how they ironically shape their work. He warns that the fashionable nature of a theory may overshadow our assessment of its credibility, and even argues that a more natural reality may lie behind current fantasy ideas about the origins of the universe.Physics has reached a troubled impasse in the last century. The two theories-quantum mechanics and general relativity-were believed to be largely true. But they fundamentally contradict each other; Neither can be completely true. Roger Penrose, one of the leading physicists, addresses this problem in his book Fashion, Faith and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe. As intellectually unusual as well as respected, Penrose risks looking for some new ways in which these two theories can be reconciled.-Wall Street JournalA perfectly produced, perfectly crafted and schematic book. If contemporary physics theory interests you, you definitely don't want to ignore this book. -Math Frolic Show more
