The conversations--with Bohm, Pattee, Penrose, Rosen, Rosenfeld, Somorjai, Weizs臘ker, Wheeler, and Nobel prizewinners Heisenberg, Dirac, and Prigogine--explore issues which have shaped modern physics and those which hint at what may form the next scientific revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe discussions range over a set of basic problems in physical theory and their possible solutions--the understanding of space and time, quantum and relativity theories and recent attempts to unite them--and deal with related questions in theoretical biology.
