Description for Gravity, Strings and Particles: A Journey Into the Unknown
Paperback. Besides time and the three spatial dimensions, how many other dimensions exist in our universe? Ideal for readers who do not necessarily have a specific background in physics, this book goes beyond what is known to focus particularly on what is still unknown. Num Pages: 125 pages, 23 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDZ; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 256 x 174 x 10. Weight in Grams: 234.
New fundamental forces of Nature? New forms of "dark'' energy? Signals from epochs preceding the Big Bang? Is our space-time unique? Only a joint study of the three topics examined in this book – gravity, strings and particles – may provide answers to these questions. Such a study may also provide the key to solving one of the most fascinating mysteries of modern science, namely: Besides time and the three spatial dimensions, how many other dimensions exist in our universe?
The book is primarily addressed to readers who do not necessarily have a specific background in physics but ... Read more

Reviews for Gravity, Strings and Particles: A Journey Into the Unknown
“Gasperini has written the book version of an excellent colloquium talk outlining important questions in modern theoretical physics. … This book may be particularly useful to mathematicians working in subfields adjacent to theoretical physics, such as mirror symmetry. … if you’re preparing your own colloquium talk about the implications of string theory, Gasperini may provide some inspiration!” (Ursula Whitcher, MAA ...
