Quantum
Gravity,
Lee
Smolin
provides
an
accessible
overview
of
the
attempts
to
build
a
final
"theory
of
everything."
He
explains
in
simple
terms
what
scientists
are
talking
about
when
they
say
the
world
is
made
from
exotic
entities
such
as
loops,
strings,
and
black
holes
and
tells
the
fascinating
stories
behind
these
discoveries:
the
rivalries,
epiphanies,
and
intrigues
he
witnessed
firsthand.

"Lee
[Smolin]
is
a
brilliant,
original
thinker."—Roger
Penrose
"[Smolin] argues lucidly and effectively that physicists should pause to reevaluate exactly what they mean when they use the words 'space' and 'time.' This is a deeply philosophical work."—New York Times Books Review
"A mix of science, philosophy, and science fiction, [this] is at once entertaining, thought-provoking, fabulously ambitious, and fabulously speculative."—New York Times
"This is real twenty-first century science."—Allen Lane,Independent
