Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos

As those into the hard sciences know we have come a long way in the study of modern day physics and cosmology. What used to be considered science fiction and pseudoscience has become acceptable and valid scientific theories and hypothesis. The last six months I have been reading numerous books on physic, cosmology, time travel and related topics. I just finished this fascinating 436 page soft book (Parallel Worlds: The science of alternative universes and our future in the cosmos by Michio Kaku) and found it to be a delightful read. I had read sever previous books by this author so I was familiar with his work. This book explains in great detail the most recent developments in physics and cosmological theories. This easy to read book is organized into three parts: The first part (The Universe) covers baby pictures of the universe, the paradoxical universe, the big bang, and inflation and parallel universes. The second part (The multiverse) explores dimensional portals and time travel, parallel Quantum Universes, M-Theory, a designer universe, and searching for echoes from the eleventh dimension. The final part (Escape into hyperspace) focuses on the end of everything, escaping the universe and beyond the multiverse. If cosmology, physics and other universes fascinates you this is a book you should check out. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

The Secret of EXISTANCE is the ultimate question that has inundated humanity since the beginning, be it philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, theologians or the common individual trying to survive and questioning what is it all about? It's fascinating that regardless of how we approach this question; the Journey becomes more valuable than the elusive final answer as we discover more and more about our place in the Universe. This book brings the many pivotal scientific discoveries and theories in the long quest over the years and weave them into a possible interpretation of how and why the Universe happens to be the way it is and possible future events that may impact our existence. String Theory along with a few other possible theoretical explanations of the physical world introduces the concept of Multi-dimensions of existence as a by-product of their mathematical models and interpretations which become the focal point of this book's Parallel Worlds topic. Like many people I'm extremely intrigued by the possibilities of Parallel Universes, Multi-dimensions, and Hyperspace and most of all where did we come from and where are we going? It's a nice book, well written and with a bit of general knowledge about the quest for the Theory of Everything it's an easy and enjoyable read. It does not attempt provide a definite answer to the questions but rather shows a possible interpretations and possible answers. Only time will tell if this is a Scientific Book, or Science Fiction Book. Finally, the author either intentionally or non-intentionally digresses into the inevitable concept of whether there is a Purpose and Intelligences behind the existence of the Universe or is it pure chance and physics. I found the discussions very intriguing as I hope you will.

I like most of this Kindle eBook. I like that the author used an analogy to make some of his points in this Kindle eBook. I don’t like that in one of the sentences in this Kindle eBook the author called an English physicist’s accent a British accent. British means a British citizen. I don't like that two of the sentences in this Kindle eBook aren't grammatically correct. I don’t like that two of the sentences in this Kindle eBook aren’t true. I rate this Kindle eBook four out of five stars.

Popularizer of science and professor of physics Michio Kaku returns with "Parallel Worlds," an expose of the recent history of cosmology and a little bit of string theory. Kaku does a remarkable job explaining what we know about the universe around us, from both an experimental and theoretical perspective. As Kaku is a string theorist himself, he does make attempts to bring that into the discussion- but here I think his explanations fall a little flat. I don't think string theory is really the focal point of the book though. Nevertheless, this book is easily approachable and digestible by a science-interested layman. Kaku's enthusiasm for the topic and science in general seeps through every page. This book was a page-turner for me. Among other topics, Kaku discusses the big bang, inflationary theory, parallel universes, quantum mechanics, string theory, and what is in store for us at the end of the universe. Books like this always make me reflect on how truly insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. As old as the planet is, the universe is far older. As big as the planet is, the universe is far bigger. As dangerous as the planet is, ... you get the idea. This is an engaging and fascinating read, enthusiastically presented by a leading physicist. I highly recommend this to anyone who has ever stared up at the night sky and wondered about...well, everything.

リサ・ランデールの著書は英語で読んでも日本語で読んでも難解なのですが、この著者の本はどちらで読んでも平易な文章で深い内容が書かれているのでおすすめです。

I would very highly recommend this book to whoever wants to know where we're at with cosmology because Michio is an incredible story teller and his explanations are easy to grasp and to the point. I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down! I also enjoying reading about his own views on the subject since he's very involved with strong theory. Wonderful work!

I am an artist, reading this basic explanation of an conundrum subject provoked me to create new series of painting

Michio Kaku has been one of my favorite over the years. Being a physicist, its easier for me to appreciate how difficult it is to explain such theories in a language that can even be comprehensible to the younger students of this vast subject. Prof. Kaku succeeds with his immaculate treatment of some of the most beautiful theories of Physics, without any usage of Mathematics...

Excellent ouvrage, comme tous les livres de Michio Kaku. Vulgarisation scientifique au sens noble du terme. Tout ce que vous vous demandez sur les mondes parallèles dans une approche plaisante
