Description
String theory presents an interesting challenge. Unlike the continual development of our picture of the universe throughout history, string theory is a viewpoint that was not constructed based on experimental findings. Rather, it is a theory that has been proposed to solve the great problem of modern physics -- how to resolve quantum mechanics with general relativity.
Brian Greene has been involved with the development of string theory and actually enters the narrative later on in this book. He obviously shares the view of his other string theorists that the idea is far too beautiful not to be true. He tries to sprinkle his commentary with cautionary reminders that the whole thing could be thrown out the door at any moment if an experiment proves it wrong.
Even if you don't believe that string theory (or its spawn, M-theory) is true, Greene's metaphorical writing takes the reader down a breathtaking path of extraordinary thinking and brilliant logic. It's simple enough for the amateur to at least begin to comprehend, and Greene throws in the hard math for those who went a bit beyond calculus in college.
There are new ideas flowing around string theory every day, and Greene will have to come out with a new edition before too long. This book strives to allow everyone to grasp the fundamentals behind this potentially revolutionary concept. It's a task in which he succeeds
