Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos

Like its predecessor Hyperspace, PW is a fascinating tour of physics at the theoretical cutting edge. MK is an ever lucid and entertaining guide. Though he doesn't always succeed in making abstruse ideas completely intelligible, he does so for the most part. And where he is less successful -- as PW progresses to M-theory and beyond -- he nonetheless spurs his readers' enthusiasm to read on. It's hard to imagine 'headier' stuff than one finds between the covers of PW. My thanks to MK for letting us non-physicists/cosmologists in on all the excitement!

THANK YOU MICHIO FOR AT LAST A

READABLE BOOK ON WHAT THE UNIVERSE

IS ALL ABOUT. I CANNOT RECOMMEND

THIS BOOK MORE THAN FIVE STARS

OR I WOULD.

I READ A LOT AND FINDING READABLE

MATERIAL IS NOT EASY.

GENE ADDINGTON

The glossary entry for "anthropic principle" begins "The principle that the constants of nature are tuned to allow for life and intelligence." Tuning something is an activity that demands intelligence.
Actually I think the most intelligent thing the designer ever did was inventing evolution.

I don't have much physics backgroud but found this book very easy to comprehend and easy to read also. The information is astonishing.

Ranges further and is more accessible than Brian Greene's "Elegant Universe." A must read for anyone who is interested in the _very big questions_.
