Relativity Science & Technology

Paperback. A brilliant theoretical physicist argues that the solution to the ultimate question in science: how to unify Einstein's theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics, is possible only if we abolish time from the foundations of the universe. In other words, despite our deepest intuitions, time does not exist. Num Pages: 384 pages, 50 illustrations. BIC Classification: PD; PGK; PGZ; PHQ; PHR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).
