brief_description
Wheeler was a raging nonconformist, full of wild ideas about space, time, and the universe; Feynman was cautious in his research, wanting to prove and confirm everything himself. Halpern shows how their collaboration ensured that quantum physics would never be the same again. -- blurb.
