2001, a spacetime odyssey : proceedings of the Inaugural Conference of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics : Michigan, USA, 21-25 May 2001
M J Duff, James T Liu, Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics. Inaugural Conference
Two theories revolutionized the 20th century view of space and time: Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Their union has given rise to elementary particle theories with extra spacetime dimensions, the inflationary model of big bang cosmology, the hypothesis of dark matter in the universe, the discovery of radiation from quantum black holes, and the fuzzy spacetime geometry of superstrings and M-theory. In this important book, experts present the latest developments in cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics, as well as share their thoughts on the future of spacetime physics.
