• Part of the Very Short Introductions series – over ten million copies sold worldwide

Philosophy of physics is concerned with the deepest theories of modern physics – notably quantum theory, our theories of space, time and symmetry, and thermal physics – and their strange, even bizarre conceptual implications. A deeper understanding of these theories helps both physics, through pointing the way to new theories and new applications, and philosophy, through seeing how our worldview has to change in the light of what we learn from physics.
