“There was a day when there was no yesterday.”
And with this last book, which is about the big questions, we start our conversation: What is time? What is light? What tricks can you use to talk in a way that makes sense to ordinary people about these very mathematical topics in modern physics? We also talk about the future of physics: Will there be a theory of everything that combines quantum theory and general relativity?
