Product Description:
In this thrilling journey into the mysteries of our cosmos, bestselling author Michio Kaku takes us on a dizzying ride to explore black holes and time machines, multidimensional space and, most tantalizing of all, the possibility that parallel universes may lay alongside our own.
Kaku skillfully guides us through the latest innovations in string theory and its latest iteration, M-theory, which posits that our universe may be just one in an endless multiverse, a singular bubble floating in a sea of infinite bubble universes. If M-theory is proven correct, we may perhaps finally find answer to the question, “What happened before the big bang?” This is an exciting and unforgettable introduction into the new cutting-edge theories of physics and cosmology from one of the pre-eminent voices in the field.

I'm surprised to see such high ratings for this book, as I don't know anyone scientifically inclined that found this to be a good book. This book is a odd jumble of ideas that are poorly presented by the author. Kaku fans, of course, are going to love this book, so I wouldn't be surprised if my criticisms made some of them angry. In any case, these are my complaints with this book:
First of all, I don't like the way he writes. There are sentences that are vague and confusing. For example: ... Read More

I found Michio Kaku's "Parallel Worlds" to be the best book that I have so far read on the subject of M-Theory/String Theory. The information is presented in an unusually readable format, and Kaku's writing style is enjoyable. This book also touches on more subjects related to the main theme than other books on the subject have, and seems to cover a broader range of ideas/possibilities/theories than some of the other books i am familiar with. If you're interested in theoretical cosmology, I think this is ... Read More

Will read this book many times. Reading it for the second time already since there is so much in it to think about.

You may not know how to pronounce the authors name but you will recognize him from the UNIVERSE series.
For anyone who is interested in these types of subjects, Kaku has the great ability to take complex material and present it in ways for us to understand (even if we don't have a physics background).
I completed enjoyed this book and much of the questions that were brought up within it that I would never dreamed of thinking to ask.
Rating: -
For a scientist to advance such theories, he has taken a risk.
But what risk are we talking about? Academic? No. Because the fleet of scientists who believe in parallel worlds is getting bigger day by day.
Truth changes as new discoveries are brought to light.
This book is no exception.
