The Elegant Universe - Brian Greene;B. Greene
superstrings, hidden dimensions, and the quest for the ultimate theory
KORTE INHOUD
A fascinating and thought-provoking journey through the mysteries of space, time and matter.
Today physicists and mathematicians throughout the world are feverishly working on one of the most ambitious theories ever proposed: superstring theory. String theory, as it is often called, is the key to the Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. Finally, the century-old antagonism between the large and the small ? General Relativity and Quantum Theory ? is resolved. String theory proclaims that all the wondrous happening in the universe, from the frantic dancing of subatomic quarks to the majestic swirling of heavenly galaxies, are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy, a billionth of a billionth of the size of an atom.
