Hyperspace (book)

"Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension" (1994, ISBN 0-19-286189-1) is a book by Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist from the City College of New York. It focuses on Kaku's studies of higher dimensions referred to as hyperspace. The recurring theme of the book is that all four forces of the universe (the strong force, the weak force, electromagnetism and gravity) become more coherent and their description simpler in higher dimensions.

ummary

"Hyperspace" is a book that tries to explain higher dimensions. Michio Kaku analyzes the history of higher dimensions of space and the struggle to unite quantum mechanics and general relativity in one theory. The end of the book discusses such topics as wormholes, parallel universes and the fate of the universe. The band Muse named their 2nd album 'Origin of Symmetry' after a theory from the book.
