The book explores the tension between quantum theory and relativity, two foundational yet conflicting movements in 20th-century physics. It highlights how quantum mechanics accurately predicts behaviors at the molecular and atomic levels, while relativity reshapes our understanding of gravity and high-speed matter. The author discusses the revolutionary concepts introduced by both theories, such as the energy-mass equivalence and the relativistic effects on electromagnetic radiation. Ultimately, it addresses the challenge of reconciling their incompatible mathematical and conceptual frameworks in contemporary physics.
