A Private View of Quantum Reality
...there is no law.” There’s no ultimate law of physics. All the laws of physics are mutable and that mutability itself is a principle of physics. He’d say, there’s no...

...theorem turned out to be important in physics? Oh, yes. I did all this geometry not having any notion that it would be linked to physics. It was a big...
Science’s Path From Myth to Multiverse
...Why did you focus on the history of physics and astronomy? Well, that’s what I know about; that’s where I have some competence. But there’s another reason: It’s in physics...
