El laberinto cuántico : Cómo Richard Feynman y John Wheeler revolucionaron el tiempo y la realidad

In 1939, Richard Feynman, a brilliant MIT graduate, walked into John Wheeler's office at Princeton University to introduce himself as his assistant. Thus began a lifelong friendship and a tremendously productive collaboration, despite their marked personality differences: Wheeler spoke softly and, though he appeared conservative, was a maverick brimming with outlandish ideas about the universe; the boisterous young Feynman was a cautious physicist who believed only what could be proven. Yet they were complementary spirits, and their collaboration led to a complete rethinking of the nature of time and reality. It enabled Feynman to show how quantum reality is a combination of alternative and contradictory possibilities, and it inspired Wheeler to develop his landmark concept of wormholes, portals to the future and the past. Together, Feynman and Wheeler ensured that quantum physics would never be the same again.
