The Shape of Inner Space

String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

According to string theory, we live in a ten-dimensional universe; but only four are accessible to our everyday senses. The remaining six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. In The Shape of Inner Space , Shing-Tung Yau, the man who mathematically proved that these manifolds exist, shows that not only is geometry fundamental to string theory, it is also fundamental to the very nature of our universe.
