Abstract
Modern physics is now firmly entrenched in popular culture. Even though this may not be a new phenomenon, physics has recently gained a mass audience following cameo appearances in TV shows, films and – in some intriguing cases – as a central player in fiction. Jeanette Winterson, in her novel Gut Symmetries, puts forward the idea that “what physicists identify as our wave-function may be what has traditionally been called the soul”. Martin Amis, meanwhile, has written a whole novel – Time's Arrow – in which time runs backwards. Attempts like these to incorporate concepts such as relativity or uncertainty into non-scientific appraisals of reality abound.
