The Debate Continues /$rHazvking, Stephen / Penrose, Roger --$tReferences 330 $aEinstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united into a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? In The Nature of Space and Time, two of the world's most famous physicists-Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Roger Penrose (The Road to Reality)-debate these questions.The authors outline how their positions have further diverged on a number of key issues, including the spatial geometry of the universe, inflationary versus cyclic theories of the cosmos, and the black-hole information-loss paradox. Though much progress has been made, Hawking and Penrose stress that physicists still have further to go in their quest for a quantum theory of gravity. 410 0$aIsaac Newton Institute series of lectures. 606 $aSpace and time 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aCosmology 610 $a2020 Nobel Prize in physics. 610 $a2020 Nobel laureates in physics. 610 $a2020 Nobel laureates. 610 $aAlbert Einstein. 610 $aAndrea Ghez. 610 $aEinstein. 610 $aReinhard Genzel. 610 $aRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences. 610 $aStockholm. 610 $ablack holes. 610 $ageneral relativity. 610 $ageneral theory of relativity. 610 $arelativity. 615 0$aSpace and time. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aCosmology. 676 $a530.11 686 $aUB 7500$2rvk 700 $aHawking$b Stephen$f1942-2018.$0782269 701 $aPenrose$b Roger$039346 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807897203321 996 $aThe nature of space and time$94012833 997 $aUNINA
