The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory

By Brian Greene

Categories: Science & Math

The Elegant Universe, first published in 1999, is Brian Greene's explanation of superstring theory for general readers, beginning with the conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Greene explains how strings vibrating in extra dimensions might unite all of nature's forces and particles, describes the hidden geometry of curled-up dimensions, and introduces M-theory and the possibility that space itself can tear. The book was adapted as a PBS NOVA series.
