Paradoxes, 鈥渢he fuel of scientific progress鈥�, fill a highly original book,
Conversations with the Sphinx by Etienne Klein (Souvenir Press, 拢18.99,
ISBN 0 285 63305 8). The author, a physicist at the Atomic Energy Commission in
Paris, covers everything from Olbers鈥� paradox to the paradox of the arrow of
time, from Schr枚dinger鈥檚 cat to the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky experiment.
Thought-provoking stuff. Highly recommended.
