You'll never view the cosmos the same way again. Written by a string theorist/mathematician, The Elegant Universe describes the ongoing development of superstring theory, the theory promising to unite all physical laws, matter and forces that comprise our universe. Despite being written in the late 1990s, this book is still relevant today. It also gives you a thorough review of the milestones that led up to the “superstring revolution“: special relativity, general relativity and quantum mechanics.
This book is meant for the reader with little to no knowledge of theoretical physics (which includes me). My high school physics courses, dealing only in classical Newtonian physics, never offered me a hint as to how utterly beautiful physics can be, nor how wondrous a picture it paints of our universe. This book makes me wish I had a classmate who told me, “Just be patient. This will all get a bit more interesting.“

so elegantly written that i am still in shock. recommended for anyone and everyone. xx
A great book for introducing some of the trickier theoretical aspects of current physics exploration. It's 11 years old at this point, so from what I understand a lot of it has been qualified and updated/changed by further research, but it's still a cool door into these topics.

The Elegant Universe was quite a dense read, though it's more because of my lack of foundational knowledge in higher level physics than anything. Brian Greene does a great job at explaining quantum theory to non-scientists, and I appreciate the many hypothetical examples and thought experiments. The chapters on relativity brought me up to speed before plunging me into the serious theories about hidden dimensions.
I'm probably not about to join a physics conference anytime soon, and I had to reread half of what I encountered. But this book succeeded in getting me to think about my place in things.

I really appreciated reading about the specific scientists and how they came to their conclusions more than I thought I would. Even though it seems that string theory might be out of the picture, it was still a really fun read, but maybe I just love reading about science. Greene’s excitement for this theory is palpable and contagious, I couldn’t help but also feel super elated at the breakthroughs made even with the knowledge we have now. Took me a bit to get through, but it’s a dense book. I LOVE FIZIX (even when I don’t really know what’s going on)
