waiting to be discovered? Or are they an illusion? A
retitled and revised edition of The World Within the World,
this is John Barrow's extraordinary study of how we view the
universe. Covering the magical notions of primitive cultures
to the latest ideas about chaos, black holes, inflation, and
superstrings, the book traces the development of our concept
of what the laws of nature are and how we come to know
them."--BOOK JACKET.
