In this exhilarating new book, Brian Greene explores our most current understanding of the universe, its deepest laws of nature, and our continuing quest to know more. "The Hidden Reality" reveals how major developments in different branches of fundamental theoretical physics - relativistic, quantum, cosmological, unified, computational - have all led us to consider one or anot...(展开全部)

The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: Is our universe the only universe? There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet, a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel univer...(展开全部)

Greene takes the reader to the leading edge of thinking in some of the most exciting areas of theoretical physics. And, importantly, he does not try to blind the reader with whiz-bang declarations or to mislead by giving only one perspective on topics that are highly controversial. Greene explains, in plain English, why scientists are considering some pretty far-out sounding po...(展开全部)

A pioneering and accessible book integrating recent advances in theoretical physics and computer scienceFor David Deutsch, a young physicist of unusual originality, quantum theory contains our most fundamental knowledge of the physical world. Taken literally, it implies that there are many universes "parallel" to the one we see around us. This multiplicity of universes, accordi...(展开全部)

Getting a grip on the creation and ultimate fate of the universe is one of the great scientific stories of the twentieth century. In the twenty-first, the story is expanding to enfold many universes. Michio Kaku's dazzling book tells that new story. Using the latest astronomical data, he explores the Big Bang, theories of everything, and our cosmic future. His wonderfully clear...(展开全部)

Einstein's theory of general relativity opens the door to other universes, and weird universes at that: universes that allow time travel, universes where you can see the back of your head, universes that spin and bounce or multiply without limit. The Book of Universes gives us a stunning tour of these potential universes, introducing us along the way to the brilliant physicists...(展开全部)

From Brian Greene, one of the world’s leading physicists, comes a grand tour of the universe that makes us look at reality in a completely different way. Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to ...(展开全部)

Critical acclaim for John Gribbin "The master of popular science." --"Sunday Times" (London) "Gribbin explains things very well indeed, and there's not an equation in sight." --David Goodstein, "The New York Times Book Review" (on Almost Everyone's Guide to Science) "Gribbin breathes life into the core ideas of complexity science, and argues convincingly that the basic laws, ...(展开全部)
