Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension by Michio Kaku
3.0
I'm torn.
I loved how he not only focused on physics and mathematics but also explored and openly discussed the role of religion, faith, and god. I personally did not expect it and it was a very pleasant surprise. It takes guts to be so bold!
However, at times the book was really difficult to follow as Kaku alternates between two different writing styles as if he was addressing two completely different audiences. Sometimes he explains concepts straightforward and in a language that everyone can understand, and in other instances he goes on in a super technical way, making you feel like you're attending a college physics class (that you were not prepared for).
Overall I enjoyed reading the beginning and the end of this book and I would totally recommend it for people with a physics background.
