A strange party took place at Princeton University in the autumn of 1996.
For a long weekend around Halloween, the world’s best physicists gathered to
share a few bottles and speculate about the future. Now, in 14 essays, they try
to remember what they said—about cosmology, medical imaging, string
theory, gravitational waves and neurobiology. If you’ve a mind for it Critical
Problems in Physics is a good read and offers a fascinating glimpse into the
most pressing of its problems. Edited by Val Fitch, Daniel Marlow and Margit
Dementi, published by Princeton University Press, £14.95/$24.95,
ISBN 0691057842.
