Abstract

I discuss the prospects for the discovery of a final theory underlying all natural phenomena, the possible nature of such a theory, and the impact of its discovery outside the realm of science.

This essay is reprinted with the permission of the author from Chapter X, Dreams of a Final Theory, New York: Pantheon Books, 230–240, 1992.
