Description

"Our minds tell us that some things in the universe must be true. The new physics tells us that they are not, and in the process it blurs the line between science and science fiction. Here are six essays by those who walk that line, moving ever further out in discovering the patterns of nature, aimed at readers who share their fascination with the deepest mysteries of the universe."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

It's funny how long you wait to ask some of the most important questions, even questions about your own life.
