Already thoroughly familiar to the seasoned science fiction fan, Hyperspace is that realm which enables a spaceship captain to take his ship on a physics-defying shortcut (or "wormhole") to the outer shores of the Galaxy in less time than it takes a 747 to fly from New York to Tokyo. But in the past few years, physicists on the cutting edge of science have found that a 10-dimensional Hyperspace may actually exist, albeit at a scale almost too small to comprehend, smaller even than a quark; and that in spite of its tiny size, it may be the basis on which all the forces of nature will be united. This is the first book for a general audience on one of the latest, most exciting developments in modern science. In the past several years, theoretical physicists--the author among them--have discovered that the universe exists not merely in the four spacetime dimensions (3 of space + one of time) with which Einstein made us familiar, but rather as a ten-dimensional Hyperspace. Once the domain of the science fiction writer or the occultist, Hyperspace has recently been shown to be the only kind of space in which the laws of modern physics can be satisfactorily explained. Amazingly enough, many of the phenomena whose explanations have stymied 20th century physicists and cosmologists can now be perfectly clarified by using the ten dimensions of Hyperspace. Most importantly, Einstein's unfulfilled dream, the work on which he spent the last several decades of his life in vain--the unification of all the forces of nature--now sits waiting on the ten-dimensional doorstep of modern theoretical physicists. Michio Kaku--theoretical high-energy physicist, author, radio talkshow host, and nuclear disarmament activist--is one of the pioneers in the field of String Theory, which states that the basic constituents of our universe are not quarks or protons or electrons, but much smaller entities called "strings" or "superstrings", which vibrate--like violin strings--in 10 dimensional Hyperspace, and whose vibrations in different resonances are manifested in the elementary particles. In his book, Kaku takes the reader on a ride through Hyperspace to the edge of physics. On the way he gives crystal clear explanations of such formidable mathematical concepts as non-Euclidean Geometry, Kaluza-Klein Theory, and Supergravity, the everyday tools of the string theorist. Utilizing fascinating and often hilarious anecdotes from history, from art, and from science fiction, Kaku shows us that writers and artists--in addition to scientists--have been fascinated by multidimensional space for over a century. In fact, many of the weird effects created by such famous artists as Dali and Picasso can be explained and more appreciated with an eye on the fourth spatial dimension. Finally, Kaku shows us why the ability to master Hyperspace may be our only salvation from destruction at the end of space-time. This lively yet authoritative book is spiced with many whimsical illustrations in a style reminiscent of the late science writer George Gamow.
加来道雄,美籍日裔物理学家,纽约市立大学城市学院理论物理学教授。他毕业于哈佛大学,而后获得加州大学伯克利分校哲学博士学位。他是《超越爱因斯坦》(与特雷纳合著)、《量子场论》和《超弦导论》诸书的作者,还曾担任广播电台每周一次一小时科学节目的主持人。
量子和弦还是不能怎么理解,但是有公式的都查着资料自己推导证明了一遍,我真觉得自己是物理天才啊!书的结构很适合文科生,里面的东西也都能看懂,推荐。
评分前后看得很快,第二部分看得很痛苦,Nemesis灭绝论很有意思
评分本来想给二星,想了一想,觉得还没那么糟,至少首次了解了超弦理论、十维空间……当然,未经证实的平行时空,是否存在,依然存疑。

这本书的作者加来道雄是一位很出名的理论物理学家,貌似曾获过诺贝尔奖,钻研在高维度空间领域,或者说是弦理论领域。 他在书里写到,我们这些生活在地球上的人类或许一开始并不知道为什么会出现春夏秋冬四季变化的现象,可能会误以为有某种神秘的自然力在操控着季节...
评分人类关于物质本性的讨论,从古希腊时期就已经不停地讨论了。事实上,或许生活在这个世界上的每个人都曾经──至少可能在小时候──问过自己,我是谁,这个世界是由什么组成的,这个世界之外是什么样子的。 这样的问题或许在绝大多数成年人眼里看来毫无意义,他们只需要知道这是...
评分两年前因为谢耳朵,想了解下他所从事的超弦理论,就买了《超越时空》,之后豆瓣“在读”的标志两年都没有发生更改,当时读到量子学说部分就读不下去了,觉得实在是艰深只好放弃,借着有人推荐的契机,终于又重新读起来,只觉得这次相遇是最好的时间,我有了一定的知识储备去理...
