About this audiobook

Part history of physics, part intellectual adventure, and part gateway paper. TAWTA argues that the apparent conflict between Einstein’s geometry and the quantum wave function may persist because both were being asked to operate beyond their declared boundaries. The theories do not need to defeat one another. They need an address and an account of the crossing between them. This is the story of that address.
