String theory, as it is often called, is the key to the Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. Finally, the century-old antagonism between large and small - General Relativity and Quantum Theory - is resolved. String theory proclaims that all of the wonderous happenings in the universe, from the frantic dancing of subatomic quarks to the majestic swirling of heavenly galaxies, are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy, a billionth the size of an atom. In this brilliantly articulated and refreshingly clear book, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading physicists, relates the scientific story and the human struggle behind twentieth-century physics' search for a theory of everything. Through the masterful use of metaphor and analogy, THE ELEGENT UNIVERSE makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated viscerally accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.Hide synopsis

The book begins with a discussion and review of basic general relativity and quantum mechanics, which sets up one of the central problems of theoretical physics today: finding a theory that incorporates both quantum mechanics and relativity, since the two theories, as presently constituted, cannot ...

This serves as a very good introduction to the inner workings of string theory, and its development and growth. However as the string theory is -as of writing- incomplete, and this book covers a lot of topics that may or may not be incorporated into the final theory. As I read this, I had to change ...

I expected this book to require concentration and a pencil. After all I
am an electrical engineer and that is how I read my physics books, and
most technical books and magazine articles.
This book was not for the technically inclined but for the technically
interested. And for a few chapters, it was ...
