A look at one of the most revolutionary theories in physics-the string theory.
"...a grand intellectual adventure..." - Chicago Tribune
One of the most ambitious and exciting scientific theories ever posed--one that may be the long-sought "Theory of everything"-gets a masterful and lavishly animated explanation that will excite scientists and non-scientists alike. Beginning with simple and clear explanations of major concepts of physics, including gravity, electromagnetism and relativity, The Elegant Universe illuminates one of the most revolutionary theories in physics today.
Known as string theory or superstring theory, this startling idea proposes that the fundamental ingredients of nature are inconceivably tiny strands of energy, whose different modes of vibration underlie everything that happens in the universe. The theory attempts to unite the laws of the large general relativity and the laws of the small quantum mechanics breaking a conceptual logjam that has frustrated scientists for nearly a century.
