Both defy modern physics and scientists find themselves continually searching for answers. This unique volume brings together world leaders in cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, mathematics, philosophy and theology, to provide fresh insights into the deep structure of space and time. In an attempt to understand the question, subjects ranging from dark matter to the philosophical and theological implications of spacetime are covered, ensuring that the issue is thoroughly explored. Interesting and thought-provoking answers provide a well-rounded read. 410 0$aCanto classics. 517 3 $aOn Space & Time 606 $aSpace and time 615 0$aSpace and time. 676 $a530.1 702 $aMajid$b Shahn 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819460303321 996 $aOn space and time$94092236 997 $aUNINA
