Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A vivid portrait of the theory of hyperspace by a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York discusses the superstring theory and the concept of a jigsaw-puzzle universe. Reprint. Tour. NYT.
Amazon.com Review:
How many dimensions do you live in? Three? Maybe that's all your commonsense sense perception perceives, but there is growing and compelling evidence to suggest that we actually live in a universe of ten real dimensions. Kaku has written an extraordinarily lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the theoretical and empirical bases of a ten-dimensional universe and even goes so far as to discuss possible practical implications--such as being able to escape the collapse of the universe. Yikes. Highly Recommended.

Hyperspace is a lively, fascinating, and highly readable account of state-of-the-art theoretical physics as of 1995. Arguably, the theories under discussion in this volume are outside the realm of science since they are at present, as they are likely to be into the far distant future, empirically unverifiable. Even so, as Kaku argues, science may yet uncover indirect evidence of wormholes, dimensions 5-10, and strings. Whether or not this proves true, one cannot help but be awed and delighted ... Read More

The book is a good introduction to hypersapce,parallel universes, supergravity, string theory and every other physics theory difficult to understand for the lay person. Dr. Kaku interests the reader to a new world of possibilities.

Now almost 15 years old, this book is still an interesting read. An entertaining and well written introductory tour of superstrings and the quest for unification, with a little essential history of the evolution of physics and mathematics thrown in. (Mathematics is, after all, the language of physics, of which every modern student of physics is well aware.) It will take about the first 100 pages to get the experienced physics reader interested, and then it's a quick dash to the finish. Much of ... Read More

good book. explains details in a way that laymen can comprehend. i never took any physics- but i was capable of understaning dr. kakus book. he is well spoken and well versed in the modern beliefs of theoretical science.

I really enjoyed this book when I was fresh out of high school. However, reflecting back on this work, it really is nothing more than a delightfully written book on a large collection of theories that have not been and probably cannot be verified through empirical observation. Sure, it might be amusing to hypothesize about parallel universes, superstrings, time machines and the like. Nevertheless, I do not see the utility in doing so until we have a compelling reason to believe that these things might ... Read More
