| Abstract
|
:
|
"What happens when the century's greatest logician meets the century's greatest physicist? In the case of Kurt Godel and Albert Einstein the result is Godel's revolutionary new model of the cosmos." "In the 'Godel Universe' the philosophical fantasy of time travel becomes a scientific reality. For Godel, however, the reality of time travel signals the unreality of time. If Godel is right, the real meaning of the Einstein revolution had remained, for half a century, a secret. Now, a half-century after Godel met Einstein, the real meaning of time travel in the Godel Universe can be revealed."--Jacket.
