The aim of this book is to continue to raise public awareness in the exciting field of theoretical physics. It covers the latest theories in theoretical physics and cosmology and presents them in a non-technical language.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"Popular expositions of scientific topics have an important role in informing the general public of the nature/implications of current research. This is always a difficult task, especially for the highly abstract and very complicated topics addressed here. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students." (M. Coplan, Choice, Vol. 48 (2), October, 2010)
"The origin of this book lies in two public lectures given by the authors for a general public, under the auspices of multiversal journeys, a non-profit organization dedicated to disseminating knowledge on current theoretical physics to the general public. ... It certainly is to be welcomed that leading theoretical physicists make an effort to communicate their research to the general public. This book demonstrates how to succeed in such an endeavour." (Michael Kunzinger, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1207, 2011)
