PAP. Condizione: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if space and time are not fundamental?For centuries, physics has treated space and time as the immutable stage on which reality unfolds. Matter moves, forces act, particles interact-but the stage itself remains untouched. Even Einstein, who transformed our understanding of gravity, left one assumption largely intact: that spacetime, however dynamic, is still fundamental.Before Space and Time begins with a quiet but unsettling question: what if that stage is not basic at all?Drawing on modern insights from gravitational physics, thermodynamics, black hole theory, and information theory, this book explores the possibility that gravity, spacetime, and even geometry itself are emergent phenomena-real and measurable, yet not primordial. From the strange thermodynamic behavior of black holes to the deep connections between entropy and geometry, the narrative traces how cracks begin to appear in our most trusted frameworks.This is not a book of speculative fantasies, nor a technical textbook. It is a carefully reasoned journey through well-established physics, guided by a single idea: that many of today's deepest mysteries may be different faces of the same underlying structure.Written for scientifically curious readers, students, and thinkers who enjoy asking foundational questions, Before Space and Time invites you to look at gravity not as a force, but as a clue-and to reconsider what reality might be made of, once the stage itself is no longer taken for granted. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
