Geons, Black Holes, and Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics Paperback - 2000 - 1st Edition
by John Archibald Wheeler; Kenneth Ford (With)
From nuclear physics to quantum theory to relativity and gravitation, Wheeler's work has set the trajectory of research for half a century. In this rich autobiography, he reveals in colorful detail the excitement of each discovery, the character of each colleague, and the underlying passion for knowledge that drives him still.
First line
ON MONDAY, January 16, 1939, I taught my morning class at Princeton University, then took a train to New York and walked across town to the Hudson River dock where the Danish physicist Niels Bohr was scheduled to arrive on the MS Drottningholm.
