Synopsis: From the cover: A revolution is rocking the foundations of modern physics. A fresh, brilliant new theory is rapidly overturning long-accepted notions about our universe, replacing them with radically new mathematics of breathtaking beauty and elegance. Called "superstrings." this theory is exciting physicists around the world.
It is thought to be the missing piece in the puzzle of Einstein's unsolved unified field theory, uniting all the laws of physics into one description of all known forces in the universe. At its center is the realization that the four fundamental forces governing our universe are actually different manifestations of a single unifying force, governed by the superstring. Now, in a wonderfully readable account. Dr. Michio Kaku and Jennifer Trainer give a fascinating portrait of this daring theory of superstrings and the developments since Einstein's death toward completing his ultimate dream.
There has never been a book like Beyond Einstein. It will put nothing less than the entire thrust of twentieth-century physics into one comprehensive, coherent framework-and show how it led to a theory that may very well be science's crowning achievement in the last two thousand years.
