great airplane book

I say great airplane book because I fly internationally a lot and this book is ALWAYS in my carry-on. Even though I've read it probably 30 times through, I never skip chapters, it still is a great read each time. I'm trying to do the "physics by osmosis" method of learning.

A good book for understand higher dimensions

A good book for understand higher dimens ions with examples, dates and works of famous mathematicians and physicists.

Easy to read science

Humankind dreams control time and space. This holistic superstring plain mathematical theory aproaches reality in this amazing book.
Easy to read at once. Sometimes very interesting few times boring I recomend give your time to this book.

Oh golly gee we aren't in Kansas and those aren't red shoes he's wearing

When the author wrote this book string theory was very "hot"... it has since cooled a lot.
The main problem is that string theory is a limiting "scale".
Physically and geometrically that seems to be just wrong.
This book is somewhat better than the run of the mill Popularization or
"dumbing down of physics", because he is faithful to history and names specific equations
( mostly without giving them) like the modular functions of Ramanujan.
I think the author could learn something about this kind of writing from Robert Kanigel ( biographer for Ramanujan).
This author appears to be a pathological string field theory and superstring physicist in combo of 10 and 26 dimensions.
But he by being faithful to his materials gives even more advanced readers Google searchable names and important papers.
And unlike the Nobel prize winner Steven Weinberg , this author hasn't lost either hope or faith in the future or faith in humanity
to solve impossible problems. The book has a sense of history and a likable tone of writing.

Really really interesting

This book is an attempt to put some really complicated physics into layman's terms. The book covers the history of scientific thought and discovery as it relates to the four dimens ions we live in (three spatial, one temporal) as well as the other six that some physicists believe complete our universe. What was amazing to me was that although the title sounds like the stuff of sci-fi, the topic actually encapsulates all physical sciences, from chemistry to astronomy. This is because the theory of ten dimensions is a result of the quest to find one theory that explains all forces in the known universe (other theories, such as Einstein's theory of relativity, explain certain forces but break down for others). Although I felt in over my head at a couple points, the author does a good job of simplifying everything and explaining the math without using much math. The book is full of helpful and entertaining diagrams (my favorite is the one of Einstein staring wide-eyed through a wormhole at a Tyrannosaurus Rex). And although the book wanders off topic from time to time (like the tangent on how the universe will end and how the human race might carry on after our sun burns out), even these digressions are fascinating, if not completely relevant. I'd recommend this book to anyone whose imagination has ever been captured by the thought of time travel or parallel universes, or just anyone who wonders what the heck E=mc2 means.
