This review is from: God and the New Physics (Penguin Science) (Paperback)

I have read a great many popular books on physics and most of them cover
largely the same ground. This book deals with issues so fundamental and profound that many times only kids ever dare ask them. If you do read this
book you may never forget the experience.
