Green, B. (1999)The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory

Book cover

"In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world’s leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter – from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas – is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. And with the potential to unify all the forces of nature, some have even hailed string theory as a ‘Theory of Everything’.

Greene uses everything from an amusement park ride to ants on a garden hose to explain the beautiful yet bizarre realities that modern physics is unveiling. Dazzling in its brilliance, unprecedented in its ability to both illuminate and entertain, The Elegant Universe is a tour de force of scientific writing – a delightful, lucid voyage through modern physics that brings us closer to understanding how the universe works."
