Best Ever February 23, 2000 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is definetly the best popular science book I have read yet. It makes very complex ideas seems reasonable for the first time physics reader. The analagies and anecdotes make the book a joy to read. I don't think I've ever learnt and understood so much from a single book ever!
The best popular science book I've read for ages. December 7, 1999 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
As an undergraduate physicist, this book has reminded me why I chose the subject! Kaku's book takes you through all the ideas that have been put forward about multi-dimensional space in a fascinating way. Adding extra dimensions to our universe, instead of the usual three of space and one of time, has amazing consequences. It can unify all the forces in a beautifully simple way, enable time and space travel and maybe even explain paranormal phenomena! The chapters are split down into subheadings and this makes the physics a lot easier to digest. 'Hyperspace' is so enthralling it is extremely hard to put down. It has just the right balance between science and entertainment that makes it perfect for all to read. The ideas within this book really stretch your imagination to the limit and you will find yourself talking about the ideas to others. I would recommend this book, and Kaku's others, to anyone.
"To bowdly go where no man has ever gone before ... " September 25, 1999 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Hyperspace is the best book I have read in that genre. It is very well written and even people without any previous knowledge about the subject will be able to appreciate it. Michio Kaku clearly explains why in his opinion superstring is the way to go. The book starts off with explanation of Einstein's Relativity and then goes to Quantum mechanics. In my opinion this book is a MUST!
