Overview

Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away layers of mystery to reveal a universe that consists of eleven 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. The Elegant Universe makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works."

  • Best overall book on quantum and string theories.

    Stephen G. - 6 years 2 months ago

    One of the best book written on the 'new physics' concentrating on quantum mechanics, string theory, other dimensions with just a bit of Einsteinian special relativity and general relativity to tie it all together. Very understandable as it is written for the non-scientist. Very good overall book on the topic. If you only have time to read one book regarding quantum theory and superstring theory - read this one.
