The Singers of Time

The Singers of Time (‎Doubleday; First Edition, 1991)
When the conquering aliens on Earth find out that their home planet has been destroyed, they turn to the humans--whom they have long treated as intellectually inferior--for the scientific help they need to rescue their planet...!

A race of turtle-like creatures conquers Earth, imposing a gentler set of values on humankind, outlawing destructive technology, and denying the validity of human scientific theories. When their home planet disappears into a black hole, however, the aliens' only hope for the future hinges on the possibility that humanity's flawed sciences might contain a glimmer of truth. Two veteran sf authors combine their strengths to produce a novel that both explains and explores the ''mysteries'' of modern science. - Library Journal
