1	The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory more books like this by Brian Greene add to wishlist In this accessible work, a physicist asserts that string theory--the theory that the universe is made up of vibrating loops--merges the previously incompatible theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity into a unified theory of the universe. A New York Times Notable Book for 1999. see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.34! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS

5	Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory and the Search for Unity in Physical Law more books like this by Peter Woit add to wishlist When does physics depart the realm of testable hypothesis and come to resemble theology? Peter Woit argues that string theory isnt just going in the wrong direction, its not even science. Not Even Wrong shows that what many physicists call superstring theory is not a theory at all. It makes no predictions, not even wrong ones, and this very lack ... see all copies from $2.51! new only from $2.95! \| first editions \| SVS

8	Superstrings and the search for the theory of everything more books like this by Peat add to wishlist Since Einstein, physicists have been pursuing a single theory that would order all of the elementary particles in the universe and unify all the forces of nature. Such a theory would answer questions like: how did the universe begin?; what is the origin of time?; what is matter? In 1984 a theory - involving "superstrings" - burst upon the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.58! \| first editions \| SVS
