Hyperspace

Outline

Hyperspace (1994) introduces readers to one of the most exciting ideas in modern physics: that our universe may have more dimensions than the three we can see. Michio Kaku explains how extra dimensions could help unite the forces of nature, and explores related ideas such as wormholes, parallel universes, and time travel. The book makes advanced physics clear, exciting, and accessible.

• Our universe may have more dimensions than the three we can see, and Hyperspace explains why physicists take that idea seriously.
• Extra dimensions could help unite the forces of nature into a single, simpler picture of how the universe works.
• Michio Kaku explores wormholes, parallel universes, and time travel as ideas that grow out of higher-dimensional physics.
• Advanced physics can be explained in a clear, exciting way for readers who are not specialists.
