Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our universe, we keep each in its own domain: space and time for very large things, particles for the very small ones. However, 13.8 billion years ago, those two incompatible domains belonged to a single realm. Who in the current or future generations of physicists will crack this seemingly impossible puzzle? This, contends the author, is not just a big question, but the biggest question in physics in our century. Combining Ickes's first-hand knowledge with a robust argument and intellectual playfulness, this fascinating book succeeds in making a notoriously difficult subject accessible to all readers interested in a better grasp of our universe. 606 $aPhysics 610 $aGravity - quanta - unknown physics. 615 0$aPhysics. 676 $a530 700 $aIcke$b Vincent$0786856 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787179603321 996 $aGravity does not exist$93838473 997 $aUNINA
