Is the universe infinite, or does it have an edge beyond which there is, quite literally, nothing? Do we live in the only possible universe? Why does it have one time and three space dimensionsor does it? What is it made of? What does it mean when we hear a new particle has been discovered? In what sense is the behavior of complex bodies 'merely a consequence' of that of their atomic constituents? Will quantum mechanics eventually give way to a totally new description of the world, one whose features we cannot even begin to imagine? This book aims to give the nonspecialist reader a general overview of what physicists think they do and do not know in some representative frontier areas of contemporary physics. After sketching out the historical background, A.J. Leggett goes on to discuss the current situation and some of the open problems in cosmology, highenergy physics, and condensedmatter physics. This book focuses not so much on recent achievements as on the fundamental problems at the heart of the subject, and emphasizes the provisional nature of our present understanding of things.
