Presenting portraits of many central figures in modern physics, including Stephen Hawking and Leonard Susskind, this eye-opening critique of modern theoretical physics provides the latest ideas about the nature of physical reality while clearly distinguishing between fact and fa…
From acclaimed science author Jim Baggot, a pointed critique of modern theoretical physics In this stunning new volume, Jim Baggott argues that there is no observational or experimental evidence for many of the ideas of modern theoretical physics: super-symmetric particles, supe…
Cosmological and black hole apparent horizons
"Einstein's Enigma or Black Holes in My Bubble Bath is a humourous and informal rendition of the story of gravitation theory from the early historic origins to the latest developments in astrophysics, focusing on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and black-hole phys…
