| : |
Los Angeles Times Book Review: "THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE is an ambitious, patient, and frequently personal attempt to bring both the beauty and substance of string theory down to Earth for the general public....Even if string theory turns out to be wrong, the ideas it's spun forth thus far are sure to be woven into the ongoing revolution in physics." |

| Publisher's Note: |
Calling it a cover-up would be far too dramatic. But for more than half a century--even in the midst of some of the greatest scientific achievements in history--physicists have been quietly aware of a dark cloud looming on a distant horizon. |
| More Information |
| Details: |
Einstein was simply ahead of his time. More than a half a century later, his dream of a unified theory has become the Holy Grail of modern physics. And a sizeable part of the physics and mathematics community is becoming increasingly convinced that string theory may provide the answer. From one principle--that everything at its most microscopic level consists of combinations of vibrating strands--string theory provides a single explanatory framework capable of encompassing all forces and all matter. |
