Hyperspace

A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension

By: Michio Kaku

Narrated by: Tim Lounibos

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 offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics.

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. 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.

Fantastic book, it’s what you would expect

The book so great and I would highly recommend it . Great touch open so many aspects of physics even for a layman / amateur.

A difficult subject presented with clarity.

The truly captivating history of mans never ending search for truth and understanding in the world he finds himself and continues to explore.

Easy to follow, yet so amazingly deep

This book is Dr. Kaku’s greatest out of his extensive collection. Enough details throughout each chapter and enough historical context

I always love his books

Spoke was very well written and had many interesting points I had never considered before

Very Interesting

I like the book. But, should the audiobook come with a PDF charts or something.
