Frontiers of Fundamental Physics 4 edited by B. G. Sidharth, M.V. Altaisky.

This symposium was organized at the B.M. Birla Science Centre, Hyderabad, India, and provided a platform for frontier physicists to exchange ideas and review the latest work and developments on a variety of interrelated topics. A feature of the symposium, as well as the proceedings, is the B.M. Birl...
