Description
What is superstring theory and why is it important? Can superstrings offer the fulfilment of Einstein's lifelong dream of a Theory of Everything? Co-authored by one of the leading pioneers in superstrings, Michio Kaku, this book approaches scientific questions with the excitement of a detective story, looking at new scientific research that may make the impossible possible.
