Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Weinberg, the 1979 Nobel Prize-winner in physics, imagines the shape
of a final theory and the effect its discovery would have on the
human spirit. He gives a defense of reductionism--the impulse to
trace explanations of natural phenomena to deeper and deeper
levels--and examines the curious relevance of beauty and symmetry in
scientific theories. Weinberg gives a personal account of the search
for the laws of nature, and shares glimpses scientists have had from
time to time that there is a deeper truth foreshadowing a final
theory. For another side of the discussion, see David Lindley's The
End of Physics.
