Read a sample Read a sample
We’re living in the midst of a scientific revolution that’s captured the general public’s attention and imagination. The aim of this new revolution is to develop a “theory of everything”—a set of laws of physics that will explain all that can be explained, ranging from the tiniest subatomic particle to the universe as a whole. Here, readers will learn the ideas behind the theories, and their effects upon our world, our civilization, and ourselves.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide® String Theory explains how this exciting idea holds up against competing theories. In this Complete Idiot’s Guide®, you get:
•  Clear explanation of quantum mechanics, Einstein’s theories of relativity, and how string theory unites them. 
•  A quick, easy-to-understand overview of competing theories and how they might be tested.
•  Fast facts about black holes, what’s inside them, how they’re made, and why they’re so paradoxical. 
•  Simple, smart tips to help you visualize extra dimensions.
