Assumptions “There has never been a law of physics that did not demand ‘space’ and ‘time’ for its statement.” John Archibald Wheeler Starting Assumption: Physics today has a large body of experimental observations and mathematical equations that correspond to the experimental observations. Therefore‚ on a superficial level it would appear that we have a good theoretical understanding of nature up to a limit that will be called the frontier of knowledge. However‚ there are many counter intuitive

called black holes. The boundary past which there is supposedly no return is known as the event horizon. In this conception‚ all information about anything that ventures past a black hole’s event horizon is destroyed. On the other hand‚ quantum physics‚ the best description so far of how the universe behaves on a subatomic level‚ suggests that information cannot ever be destroyed‚ leading to a fundamental conflict in theory. No Event Horizons Now Hawking is suggesting a resolution to the paradox:

long as I can remember is science‚ and physics and psychology in particular. I happen to have A’s in both. I love studying physics and although I have an artistic and creative bent (I have played violin since I was a kid)‚ a logical and linear type of subject such as physics just fits me. I find that I can discuss physics concepts for hours‚ either technically or in ordinary conversation in which I can put a creative bend on physics and its concepts; physics has left me enamored. Although I love

Achievements of Albert Einstein in his life * Einstein showed that absolute time had to be replaced by a new absolute: the speed of light. Einstein went against the grain and totally dismissed the "Old Physics." He envisioned a world where space and time are relative and the speed of light is absolute (at the time‚ it was believed that space and time were absolute and the speed of light was relative). * He asserted the equivalence of mass and energy‚ which would lead to the famous

Century’s most enigmatic yet popular figures. His high-minded concepts are more than most adults can handle‚ yet his popularity seems to rise with each passing year. His continuing importance to the world of physics is staggering given the recent advancements in the world of quantum physics. Yet Einstein the man is a much a different person than Einstein the scientist. It is Einstein the man that we see here‚ in this wonderful book by Maree Ferguson Delano.
