Description
The story of physics is complicated and adventurous. For centuries, physicists have been diving deeper into the mysteries of nature, developing new instruments that help decipher some secrets and sometimes lead to the discovery of new enigmas. In the twentieth century, this story accelerated immensely. Scientists penetrated the depths of the universe and the subatomic building blocks of matter. They defined the forces governing the microcosm and macrocosm and showed how one derives from the other. But then they encountered a mystery that has so far resisted all attempts at clarification: how to unify gravitational force with nuclear interactions and electromagnetism? Physicists have long been developing the so-called string theory, which might be a path to definitive unification. The origin, development, charm, and pitfalls of this theory are clearly explained by Michio Kaku, a well-known physicist and science popularizer, in collaboration with journalist Jennifer Thompson.
