Perfect Symmetry: The Search for the Beginning of Time

Popular science at its best, this work details how cutting-edge discoveries in quantum physics & cosmology help to explain the origin & evolution of the universe, of space & time. Perfect Symmetry is an optimistic report about the ongoing synthesis of these two disciplines into a concerted effort to uncover the fundamental laws that not only describe how the stuff that makes up the universe — matter & energy — came into existence but also govern the behavior of the smallest & largest things, from subatomic particles to stars, galaxies & the cosmos itself. Written by that rarest of scientists — one who's esteemed by his peers yet capable of making complex ideas comprehensible to laypersons — Perfect Symmetry is an intellectual adventure, science that reads like art.
