The Whole Truth : A Cosmologist's Reflections on the Search for Objective Reality /

From the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a personal meditation on the quest for objective reality in natural scienceA century ago, thoughtful people questioned how reality could agree with physical theories that keep changing, from a mechanical model of the ether to electric and magnetic fields, and...
