In Out of this World , Stephen Webb examines these theories. After introducing general relativity and quantum mechanics - the twin foundations of 20th-century physics - he explains how these two theories simply cannot both be true. Then, in a series of chapters, he introduces us to the seemingly outlandish and bizarre ideas that astronomers and physicists have come up with to account for this apparent theoretical inconsistency, ultimately leading us to wholly new realms of understanding that many scientists and mathematicians are now proposing.
