HYPERSPACE - Michio Kaku
HYPERSPACE is a popular science book that explores the concept of higher dimensions and how they relate to physics, cosmology, and the nature of reality. The author, Michio Kaku, is a theoretical physicist and a co-founder of string field theory, which is a branch of string theory that attempts to unify the four fundamental forces of nature into one theory.
The book is divided into four parts:
- Part I: Entering the Fifth Dimension. This part introduces the history and mathematics of higher dimensions, from ancient mystics and geometers to modern physicists and mathematicians. It also explains how light can be seen as vibrations in the fifth dimension, and how this leads to the theory of relativity.
- Part II: Unification in Ten Dimensions. This part discusses the development and challenges of quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of subatomic particles and forces. It also introduces superstring theory, which proposes that everything in the universe is made of tiny strings vibrating in ten dimensions. It also explores the implications of superstring theory for the origin and evolution of the universe.
- Part III: Wormholes: Gateways to Another Universe? This part explores the possibility of traveling through space and time using wormholes, which are hypothetical shortcuts in the fabric of space-time. It also examines the concepts of black holes, parallel universes, time machines, and baby universes, and how they relate to hyperspace theory.
- Part IV: Masters of Hyperspace: This part speculates on the future of humanity and the universe, based on hyperspace theory. It also considers the ethical and philosophical questions that arise from the existence of higher dimensions and other realities.
