From the bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible , Michio Kaku's Parallel Worlds takes us to the frontiers of scientific knowledge to explain the extraordinary nature - and future - of our universe. Imagine a future where we are not alone - where our universe is just one of countless parallel worlds, some strangely familiar, some almost unimaginable. And that, when planet earth finally runs down to a cold, dark wasteland, we will be able to escape into these new worlds and start again. Michio Kaku's thrilling guide to the galaxy shows us how it could happen sooner than we think - and the future for intelligent life is one of endless possibilities. 'This book is absolutely impossible to put down ... if and when we do find out what the universe is, and how it was created, it's going to be absolutely mind-blowing' Independent on Sunday 'One of the gurus of modern physics' Financial Times 'An exhilarating read ... nobody who reads this book can be anything less than amazed by the possibilities it presents' Scotland on Sunday 'The journey he takes the reader on is so picturesque and the conclusions so startling that you are gripped' Sunday Telegraph Michio Kaku is a leading theoretical physicist and one of the founders of string theory, widely regarded as the strongest candidate for the 'theory of everything'. He is also one of the most gifted popularizers of science of his generation. His books published by Penguin include Parallel Worlds , The Physics of the Future and The Physics of the Impossible . He holds the Henry Semat Professorship in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, where he has taught for over twenty-five years. Review: The most perfect book on space. - The special thing about this book is that you open any random page, it'll engage you in it... The language is so simple yet with everything explained in a very concise manner. You might assume you already know everything about black holes, time travel, warp drives, multiverses, types of civilizations, but once you read all about them in the book you'll get to know more and more about 'em and it's soo much interesting and engaging that you can never get bored of the information it has to offer. In the book, Michio Kaku explains well about everything... From the very beginning of the universe to the idea of creating an universe by yourself! The only problem about the book is that it has been published in 2006 so no mentions of the recent year discoveries such as the finding of The God particle, first ever quantum teleportation by the Chinese, image of the M87 black hole, the very first black hole to be captured in all of its glory. The cover quality could've been better, overall it's money well spent. Review: A must read - This book takes you on a journey to explore time travel, wormhole, black holes and so much more. A great book for anyone who wants a mind bending experience

Received in Good condition. A great work enriching and broaden minds over mysteries of Universe.
Firstly I got this book in good condition which is always a worry while ordering online books. This is my 1st book on Universe and cosmology as I got a curious mind on this and I'm into knowing theories and unknown facts about universe. I've just started reading it and I'm already enjoying it✨

Mindblowing
A mindblowing account of what is an what could be. Michio Kaku calls himself a "popularizer of science" and he is that for sure! This book takes you through the journey of the life of a tar, it takes you through blackholes and time warps, it transports you to literal "parallel worlds" and it gives you possibilities of the human race that will boggle your mind. Kaku's language is free flowing, and for a layman like me who looks up in wonder at the vast cosmos wanting to understand what science does and thinks of it, this is one book that will take you on an unforgettable journey. He also throws in generous dollops of history of earthly scientists, their lives and their times, bringing cosmology that much closer to the reader. The possibility of a civilization escaping to a new universe as pure beings of consciousness - the book will tingle your theology and beliefs, it will open you up to a myriad of possibilities that, put together, will leave you slightly numb, if enlightened. Go read it.

Overall quality of the book i recieved was in good condition and the delivery was in time and there was no damage to the book I recieved. But the quality of the paper I find in the book is very poor. Which made me think that the book was reprinted..but it is good for one time read..

マルチバースを平易にしかも深く解説しています
リサ・ランデールの著書は英語で読んでも日本語で読んでも難解なのですが、この著者の本はどちらで読んでも平易な文章で深い内容が書かれているのでおすすめです。

One of my Top 5 books on this topic!
I would very highly recommend this book to whoever wants to know where we're at with cosmology because Michio is an incredible story teller and his explanations are easy to grasp and to the point. I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down! I also enjoying reading about his own views on the subject since he's very involved with strong theory. Wonderful work!

Alice in wonderland for the intellect.
I am an artist, reading this basic explanation of an conundrum subject provoked me to create new series of painting

Excellent writing ... great to comprehend
Michio Kaku has been one of my favorite over the years. Being a physicist, its easier for me to appreciate how difficult it is to explain such theories in a language that can even be comprehensible to the younger students of this vast subject. Prof. Kaku succeeds with his immaculate treatment of some of the most beautiful theories of Physics, without any usage of Mathematics...

parfait
Excellent ouvrage, comme tous les livres de Michio Kaku. Vulgarisation scientifique au sens noble du terme. Tout ce que vous vous demandez sur les mondes parallèles dans une approche plaisante
