Amazon.com Review:
How many dimensions do you live in? Three? Maybe that's all your commonsense sense perception perceives, but there is growing and compelling evidence to suggest that we actually live in a universe of ten real dimensions. Kaku has written an extraordinarily lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the theoretical and empirical bases of a ten-dimensional universe and even goes so far as to discuss possible practical implications--such as being able to escape the collapse of the universe. Yikes. Highly Recommended.
Product Description:
A vivid portrait of the theory of hyperspace by a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York discusses the superstring theory and the concept of a jigsaw-puzzle universe. Reprint. Tour. NYT.

I appreciate the speedy transaction and the fine quality of the book I received. I'll purchase from this seller again in the future!

Rate: -10 heavy-matter stars warping the 10-dimensional empty space of the author's head.
I am not a physicist, so I will not comment on the "science" of this book. Others have done it already, and they know for sure what I had just guessed. As for the other 'content', the book is so full of falsities about art, history, and philosophy. All that talk about medieval art being bidimensional because of religion... it is so naive, so puerile, so...bidimensional. Mr. Kaku, go make some ... Read More

A littler out of date with newer theoretical developments in string theory, but still an interesting and fascinating read. I found it to be a fairly simple and smooth read for the average reader, however, I felt like some statements/facts he presented could've used more background and explanation. It's much harder to understand and remember concepts when you're expected to accept them as is without an explanation of why they hold true.

The central challenge of theoretical physics today is to unify the four fundamental forces--the electromagnetic force (electricity, magnetism, and light), the strong nuclear force (provides the energy that fuels the star, fusion), the weak nuclear force (governs certain form of radioactive decay), the gravitational force (keeps the earth and the planets in their orbits)--into a single force. Beginning with Einstein, the giants of physics have tried and failed to find such a unified mathematical ... Read More

I have enjoyed all of his books and his attitude in science as far as he doesn't come across as feeling we know it all as scientists so often have.
Simply put even with no idea about higher dimensions /quantum mechanics or string theory you can still get what it means, so easy a child can start to understand it but indepth enough to get a real feel where science is at today in theory
