Can
the following of fashion, blind faith, or flights of fantasy have
anything seriously to do with the scientific quest to understand the
universe? Surely not - but Roger Penrose argues that researchers working
at the extreme frontiers of physics are as susceptible to these forces
as anyone else, and that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes
highly productive in physics, may be leading today's researchers astray
in three of that field's most important areas—string theory, quantum
mechanics, and cosmology.
Roger Penrose is a renowned
mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science. He is
the recipient of many awards, including the Copley Medal, the Albert
Einstein Medal and the Eddington Medal.
