Description: Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. xvi, 359 pp., illus., biblio., index; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes? All of us have pondered such questions, but there was a time when scientists dismissed these notions as outlandish speculations. Not any more. Today, they are the focus of the most intense scientific activity in recent memory. In Hyperspace, ... read more
"Fantastic book that moves between science and science fiction. It manages to be technical and readable. It was a bit of a slow read for me, a couple of pages would have me pondering for hours.
"Instead of being overwhelmed by the universe, I think that perhaps one of the deepest experiences a scientist can have, almost approaching a religious awakening, is to realize that we are children of the stars, and that our minds are capable of understanding the universal laws that they obey. The atoms within our bodies were forged on the anvil of nucleosynthesis within an exploding star aeons before the birth of the solar system. Our atoms are older than the mountains. We are literally made of star dust. Now these atoms, in turn, have coalesced into intelligent beings capable of understanding the universal laws governing that event.""
"Kaku manages to cover everything in as little time as possible, from the origins and alternatives to the great string theory itself, with a satisfying amount of mathematical basis for an introductory book. By the end he even manages to apply it all to man's role in the universe, a grand and admirable book with imagination, history, and theory!"
"This is one of those books where you need to really understand what they're saying in chapter one before you move on to chapter two. And not 80% or even 90%, but all of it! I started out at about 95% and went downhill from there. By the time I got to the end, I recognized some words, but that was about it! ;-)"
"One of my favorite physics books of all: this book is a great introduction to hyperspace and relativity. The middle gets somewhat technical for those not science inclined, but overall a fantastic read.
I particularly enjoyed Kaku's story of building a particle accelerator as a child (really!) Inspired me to (unsuccessfully) try to do the same when I was in highschool (good learning experience though.)"
