The Nature of Space and Time

Two of the greatest minds in physics, Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, debate the possibility of a single quantum theory of gravity that can unite the theories of fields and relativity. Based on lectures presented at the University of Cambridge, the book explores questions about the origins of the Universe, the perplexing nature of black holes, and the directionality of time. While Penrose believes quantum mechanics is incomplete, Hawking provides an optimistic view of the connection between relativity and quantum mechanics. Join the debate and discover the divergent views of these two iconic physicists.
