{"product_id":"hyperspace-michio-kaku-9780195085143","title":"Hyperspace","description":"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 \u003cem\u003eHyperspace\u003c\/em\u003e, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed \u003cem\u003eBeyond Einstein\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eBrief History of Time\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e Michio Kaku is one of the leading pioneers in superstring theory and has been at the forefront of this revolution in modern physics. With \u003cem\u003eHyperspace\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michio Kaku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195085140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195085143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.53h x 6.50w x 1.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/1994 pg. 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/07\/1994 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLJ Best Sci-Tech Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/1995 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1994 pg. 198","brand":"Michio Kaku","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981481214207,"sku":"9780195085143","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42f333ba-66bf-44f2-9845-22f92b14eda3.jpg?v=1683255831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hyperspace-michio-kaku-9780195085143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
