Description: "A tour of the wonders of modern physics and cosmology, Strange Matters begins with a wild romp through the cosmos hosted by leading theorists of the past. We see how their ideas blossomed from imagined to proved as observers and experimenters gradually provided verification of once-crazy hypotheses. We then hitch a ride with today's physicists to learn what twenty-first century science has to offer in the way of cutting edge theories - ideas that even now eagerly await confirmation."--BOOK JACKET.
