- Summary:
- General relativity and quantum theory were born early in the 20th Century, and revolutionized the study of physics. The papers in this book -- contributed by such well-known figures as J. A. Wheeler, K. Thorne, and I. Prigogine -- investigate the uncharted territory at the boundary between relativity and quantum theory, where researchers are working hard to find some common ground for these two pillars of modern science. Also taken up by these imaginative researchers is the emergent field of quantum chaos. Rounding out the presentation are discussions of the latest experimental results that help guide the search for quantum gravity and quantum chaos. The unifying principle for the book lies in the cosmological implications arising from this research, which is conducted at the outer limits of physics.
