This work presents developments in cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics, and covers the future of spacetime physics.$bTwo theories revolutionized the 20th century view of space and time: Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Their union has given rise to elementary particle theories with extra spacetime dimensions, the inflationary model of big bang cosmology, the hypothesis of dark matter in the universe, the discovery of radiation from quantum black holes, and the fuzzy spacetime geometry of superstrings and M-theory. In this work, experts present developments in cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics, and share their thoughts on the future of spacetime physics. 606 $aPhysics$vCongresses 606 $aAstronomy$vCongresses 606 $aSpace and time$vCongresses 615 0$aPhysics 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aSpace and time 676 $a530 701 $aDuff$b M.
