Summary:
"Physics deals with the fundaments of the world--the nature of space and time, of matter and motion, the origin and fate of the Universe, and perhaps most famously the strangeness of quantum phenomena. It is small wonder that many physicist are drawn to the philosophical questions associated with their field, and that philosophers should find in this science and exceptionally rich area of their analytical expertise."-- Publisher.
