Hyperspace Paperback – 1 February 1995

I have only studied physics upto my A levels and that means that if I try to fully understand every theory mentioned in this book then I will be completely at sea. I personally took the line of avoiding the trees but look at the forest. It taught me a lot and also that physicists themselves have a lot to learn! It was very thought provoking and brought up concepts that I will now try and read up on! A must read for anyone interested in the Universe we live in!!

The media could not be loaded.  Book is good but price is little bit higher.

A little torn but okay

The Book is very very informative. It contains theories of Einstein and Hawkings too. It shows us a wider image of formation of Universe and Higher dimensions than 3D. It is hard to understand it for whom physics is hard. At first i was bored when i readed it further it made my interest in Physics more. Physics was too hard for me but when readed this book it cleared many concepts of my mind. Must buy

This review is only about quality of book and the the literature content of it.Bought at 470 rupees in big billion sale.Quality of pages is ok. Seems a little old.But overall passable.

its brilliant and makes you wonder why humanity is still ignorant about science and math.

Never expected this, they sending pirated cheap print in the price of 675 Rs.Book is content reach but quality of paper and printing is utter cheap, You may get headache whole reading. Better reach some retail shop nearby or flipkartThink before buying.Thank you

Excellent popular science book to understand the cutting edge of scientific theory. Explained well. If you are interested in the physics behind our existence and the latest theories, go for it. Of course, do read other books on the same topic to get an all round view.

Written in 1994, this book is over 330 pages long. It is one of Michio Kaku's more challenging works and a background in Maths or Physics (especially at degree level) would be extremely helpful in coming to grips with the complex theories in this book. Thankfully, Kaku has included numerous diagrams to help the reader grasp the difficult concepts whithin the book. Although personally I felt the book needed more mathematical equations to help illustrate and explain the theories.The topics covered include: String Theory, supergravity, GUT, Kaluza-Klein theory, the four elementary Forces, General Relativity, Special Relativity, space-time, black holes, wormholes, hyperspace, Quantum Mechanics, quantum gravity, parallel universes, time machines, Maxwell's EM equations, Euclidean geomtery, Riemann geometry and tensors.He also ponders the development of Type I-III civilizations, the fate of Humanity / our Sun / our galaxy and the Universe itself. He also explores the Big Bang and the moment in time before this momentus event. He also delves into the worlds of 2 dimensions, 4 dimesnions, 5 dimensions and ten dimensions.This book is enjoyable to read, although somewhat complex to grasp at times.

No formulas or quantum zoo. More holistic than reductionist. Focuses on the theme of higher dimensions and symmetry in the quest to generalise and unify the big and small bits of the universe. Also some fun speculation about the possibilities of time travel and escaping a dying universe. A deep thinker that cares about the philosophy of his science. Fantastic stuff.

If you're into maths or physics this is a must I'm a engineering student first year and I hate books I never read but a friend of mine said read it give it a try so I thought why not, the world's smartest people always say read books so does my dad, so I gave it a go and I am in love with this book I can't put it down bearing in mind I don't read because I hate reading, however this book is just amazing it's a must definitely. It makes you see the world at different perspectives and helps you understand higher dimensions and what uses they have and exactly how they work I am definitely going get more books like this when I finish reading the book.

I understood this book was used but didnt realise just how worn it was my mistake

A very good book written in an easily understood way by a man who knows what he is talking about. Some of the concepts stretch your mind a bit but they are explained in an easy way.A good read for all us 'layman' scientists!!
