Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? In The Nature of Space and Time, two of the world’s most famous physicists—Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Roger Penrose (The Road to Reality)—debate these questions.
The Nature of Space and Time is a book that documents a debate on physics and the philosophy of physics between the British theoretical physicists Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking.
Jan 1, 2001 · Penrose, playing the realist to Hawking's positivist, thinks that the universe is unbounded and will expand forever. The universe can be understood, he argues, in terms of the geometry of light cones, the compression and distortion of spacetime, and by the use of twistor theory.

To depict space-time, physicists routinely plot time on a vertical axis and space on a horizontal. In this scheme, light rays emanating from any point in space fan out along the surface of a vertical cone. Be-cause no physical sig-nal can cover more distance in a given time than light can, any signals originating at that point are con-fined ...
