"Hyperspace is an approachable account for the layman of what is going on in the world of physics research. I found it the most fascinating account of developments in science since Gribbin's Chaos". Shuswap Sun, BC, "[Kaku] writes with great clarity about the most complicated facets of modern physics. Some of the concepts resist easy understanding, but Kaku's explanations make them accessible without invoking the exotic mathematics that underlies them...In recent years there have been numerous bookspublished on mind-bending physics: cosmology, the search for a unified theory of the universe and such stuff. This is certainly one of the best."--The Providence Sunday Journal, "Kaku is smart enough to explain some really bizarre physics without totally losing his readers. He writes broadly, mixes in a bit of mysticism with his cosmological physics and happily refers to H.G. Wells, 'Star Trek' and Picasso. To his credit, he includes lots of illustrations and not oneequation."--The San Diego Union Tribune, "Mesmerizing....Succeeds marvelously by combining a little math, a little history and biography, a little science fiction and a lot of fun....The result is a sort of expository Tilt-a-Whirl in which the reader exits dizzy, elated and looking at the world in a literally revolutionaryway."--Washington Post Book World, "[Kaku] concisely explains higher-than-higher mathematics and theoretical physics with amusing anecdotes, mind-fucking diagrams, and such eccentric charm that it's almost easy to accept the outrageous, sometimes incomprehensible ideas he describes as he zigzags between science fact and sciencefiction....Kaku does for theoretical physicists what Spielberg did for archaelogists."--Voice Literary Supplement, "Hyperspace is the grand unification theory of science books. Even readers with some background in science may find it difficult to get a clear picture of what's going on in the world of theoretical physics from the occasional stories that make their way out to the popular press. Hyperspace islike a message from a higher dimension, lifting the reader to a vantage point up above the fray, so that GUTs, strings, wormholes, hyperspace, and an amazingly diverse assortment of other subjects can all be seen in their proper relationship."--Neal Stephenson, author of Snow Crash, "[Kaku] concisely explains higher-than-higher mathematics and theoretical physics with amusing anecdotes... and such eccentric charm that it's almost easy to accept the outrageous, sometimes incomprehensible ideas he describes as he zigzags between science fact and science fiction....Kaku doesfor theoretical physicists what Spielberg did for archaelogists."--Voice Literary Supplement, "What's all the hype about hyperspace? Most of us have our hands full dealing with just one universe. But Kaku takes us confidently into another dimension, or ten, to see why physicists think that universes are parallel, plural and positively fermented with wormholes."--John Barrow, author ofTheories of Everything

Synopsis
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, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed Beyond Einstein and a leading theoretical physicist, offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics, work which includes research on the tenth dimension, time warps, black holes, and multiple universes. The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space)--and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory--stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world, including several Nobel laureates. Beginning where Hawking's Brief History of Time left off, Kaku paints a vivid portrayal of the breakthroughs now rocking the physics establishment. Why all the excitement? As the author points out, for over half a century, scientists have puzzled over why the basic forces of the cosmos--gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces--require markedly different mathematical descriptions. But if we see these forces as vibrations in a higher dimensional space, their field equations suddenly fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, perfectly snug, in an elegant, astonishingly simple form. This may thus be our leading candidate for the Theory of Everything. If so, it would be the crowning achievement of 2,000 years of scientific investigation into matter and its forces. Already, the theory has inspired several thousand research papers, and has been the focus of over 200 international conferences. Michio Kaku is one of the leading pioneers in superstring theory and has been at the forefront of this revolution in modern physics. With Hyperspace, he has produced a book for general readers which conveys the vitality of the field and the excitement as scientists grapple with the meaning of space and time. It is an exhilarating look at physics today and an eye-opening glimpse into the ultimate nature of the universe., Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible?

    My mermaid ornament arrived in very good condition. It was as described in the listing except for a very odd manufacturing defect. I sent a message to the seller and explained what the problem was and also sent two photos along. I said I thought I would be able to fix the issue with a bit of time and a little effort. The seller got back to me promptly and offered a partial refund for my time. I agreed with the sellers thoughts because it was fair to both of us. I am pleased with my purchase.
