Relates the scientific story and the human struggle behind the search for the string theory--the ultimate theory which scientists believe is capable of describing all physical phenomena, large and small; and discusses how the theory is impacting human understanding of space and …
"String theory, many physicists believe, is the key to the unified field theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. At last, science has found a way to overcome the nearly century-old rift between the laws of the large - general relativity - and the laws of the smal…

Introduces the superstring theory that attempts to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics.
Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away layers of mystery to reveal a universe that consists of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter--from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas--is gen…

Physicist Brian Greene relates the scientific story behind the research on string theory, which reveals a vision of the universe with new dimensions hidden within the fabric of space, black holes transmuting into elementary particles, rips and punctures in the space-time continu…
Everything is connected ... We're living in the midst of a scientific revolution that's captured the general public's attention and imagination. The aim of this new revolution is to develop a "theory of everything"--A set of laws of physics that will explain all that can be expl…
The complete idiot's guide to string theory
We're living in the midst of a scientific revolution that has captured the general public's attention and imagination. The aim of this new revolution is to develop a theory of everything set of laws of physics that will explain all that can be explained, ranging from the tiniest…
Quarks and leptons from orbifolded superstring
This book is a guide for all those who want to explore the standard model using string theory. The approach pursued is "halfway" between a textbook and advanced research work and, accordingly, the book will allow both graduate students and particle phenomenologists to easily get…
