Cosmology is in crisis. The more we discover, the more puzzling the
universe appears to be. How and why are the laws of nature what
they are? A philosopher and a physicist, world-renowned for their
radical ideas in their fields, argue for a revolution. To keep
cosmology scientific, we must replace the old view in which the
universe is governed by immutable laws by a new one in which laws
evolve. Then we can hope to explain them. The revolution that
Roberto Mangabeira Unger and Lee Smolin propose relies on three
central ideas. There is only one universe at a time. Time is real:
everything in the structure and regularities of nature changes
sooner or later. Mathematics, which has trouble with time, is not
the oracle of nature and the prophet of science; it is simply a
tool with great power and immense limitations. The argument is
readily accessible to non-scientists as well as to the physicists
and cosmologists whom it challenges.
