A cosmologist argues that physics must embrace the excluded, listen to the unheard, and be unafraid of being wrong.

What The Reviewers Say

Cate Triola,
Library Journal
In engaging and accessible writing, Alexander explains how physics is inflected by non-science disciplines, including art, philosophy, sociology, and psychology.

Kirkus
The author’s own contributions include unraveling the mysteries of the early universe and advancing ideas relating to quantum gravity, and he deftly explains these and more in accessible and often personal prose. But it’s Alexander’s enthusiasm for seriously exploring theories on the frontier of physics that makes this more exciting than most similar books.
