The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions by Steve Nadis, Shing-Tung Yau

2.0

Didn't read this in detail, but, turns out Yau here has ( had ) the same problem I did as a kid ( reading numbers backwards ) He asserts that only a mathmatician would ever have thought that the solution to the weird physical conundurms of QM etc would be due to higher dimenions of space. ( No , it's the very first thing everyone thought of )
