Synopsis
Surveys contemporary directions in physics by presenting outstanding examples of the abstract--even abstruse--investigations of modern physics, giving insight into why physics is important and exciting to those involved, but also giving the layman a clear idea of its significance. Demonstrations and commentary describe the difference between experimental physicists, who basically measure and count, and conceptual physicists, like Einstein
