Overview

Everything is connected. 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, listeners will learn the ideas behind the theories and their effects upon our world, our civilization, and ourselves. In this guide you get: -Clear explanations 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 deeply paradoxical -Simple, smart tips to help you visualize extra dimensions Wrap your head around a big idea.
