Böcker av Milton K. Munitz

The theoretical physicist shares his latest thoughts on the nature of space and time in this anthology of selections from Princeton University Press. Along with eminent colleagues, Hawking extends theoretical frontiers by speculating on the big questions of modern cosmology.

When we read that scientists have come close to pinpointing the "origin of the universe" by means of a Big Bang cosmology, can we doubt that such inquiries or their results inevitably raise important philosophical questions? This book attempts to answer such questions by examining scientific theories of cosmology in a philosophical context.
