DNF. Rambling nonsense that goes nowhere.

The concept of other dimensions, time travel, and parallel universes is no longer dismissed as science fiction. In superstring theory, vibrations in higher dimensional space could unite gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces in a single set of mathematical descriptions. In clear, engaging prose, this book explains why many scientists consider superstring theory to be the best candidate for the Theory of Everything.

This classic book has been put into audio for the first time. The narration is entertaining and easy to follow. There are momentary reminders that the book came out in 1994—before M theory or flat-screen monitors. But overall, it seems relevant despite its age. For the first time, I understand the allure of string theory to the scientific community.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
