Perhaps the two most important conceptual break throughsin twentieth century physics are relativity and quantum mechanics. Developing a theory that combines the two seamlesslyis a difficult and ongoing challenge. This accessible book contains intriguing explorations of this theme by the distinguished physicists Richard Feynman and Steven Weinberg. Richard Feynman's contribution examines the nature of antiparticles, and in particular the relationship between quantum spin and statistics. In his essay, Steven Weinberg speculates on how Einstein's theory of gravitation might be reconciled with quantum theory in the final laws of physics. Both these Nobellaureates have made huge contributions to fundamental research in physics, as well as to the popularization of science. Anyone interested in the development of modern physics will find this a fascinating book.

   CONTENIDO: Foreword; 1. The reason for antiparticles; 2.Towards the final laws of physics
