«The Matter Myth» is the popular science essay by Paul Davies and John Gribbin, published by Penguin in paperback (314 pages, in English).
In this work, Paul Davies and John Gribbin argue that modern physics has dismantled the mechanistic and materialist view dominant in Western science: relativity, quantum mechanics, chaos theory and black holes force a rethink of space, time and matter, and point towards a more unified understanding of the universe.
Subtitled 'Beyond Chaos and Complexity', it belongs to the Penguin Press Science series. Originally published in 1991 by Viking, this Penguin edition dates from 1992.
For readers interested in physics, cosmology and philosophy of science.
