They are naturally occurring objects, the inevitable creations of gravity when too much matter collapses into too little space. And yet, although the laws of nature predict them, they cannot be fully described. Black holes are places in space and time where the laws of gravity, quantum physics, and thermodynamics collide. Originally thought they were intellectually so problematic that they simply couldn't exist, but only in recent years have we begun to anticipate a new a deep connection between gravity and quantum information theory that describes a holographic universe in space. Existential Physics A scientist's guide to life's biggest do we have a free will? Is the universe compatible with God? Do we live in a computer simulation? Does the universe think? Physicists are great at complicated research, but they are less good at explaining to us why it matters. In this entertaining and groundbreaking book, theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder explains why this should be important to us. Based on the latest research in quantum mechanics, black holes, string theory, and particle physics, "Existential Physics" explains what modern physics can tell us about the big questions.

About the author

Not to be confused with actor [Author: Brian Cox].

Brian Edward Cox, OBE (born 3 March 1968) is a British particle physicist, a Royal Society University Research Fellow, PPARC Advanced Fellow and Professor at the University of Manchester. He is a member of the High Energy Physics group at the University of Manchester, and works on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. He is working on the R&D project of the FP420 experiment in an international collaboration to upgrade the ATLAS and the CMS experiment by installing additional, smaller detectors at a distance of 420 metres from the interaction points of the main experiments.

He is best known to the public as the presenter of a number of science programmes for the BBC, boosting the popularity of subjects such as astronomy; so is a science popularizer, and science communicator. He also had some fame in the 1990s as the keyboard player for the pop band D:Ream.
