Ian Stewart’s popular Does God Play Dice? is reissued this week with three
new chapters to bring it up to date. Since 1989, he points out, our uncertainty
has increased about the ability of mathematicians and physicists to find a Grand
Unified Theory that governs and explains the ways of the Universe. Instead, we
now face “a plurality of overlapping rules”. Good stuff. Published by Penguin,
拢8.99, ISBN 0 14 025602 4.
