Description
Book SynopsisAn understanding of nature''s final laws may be within our grasp - a way of explaining forces and symmetries and articles that does not require further explanation. ''This starting point, to which all explanations can be traced, is what I mean by a final theory'', says Steven Weinberg in this extraordinary book. In it he discusses beauty, the weakness of philosophy, the best ideas in physics and the honour of accepting a world without god.
