Amazon.com Review:
How many dimensions do you live in? Three? Maybe that's all yourcommonsense sense perception perceives, but there isgrowing and compelling evidence to suggest that we actually live in auniverse of ten real dimensions. Kaku has written anextraordinarily lucid and thought-provoking exploration of thetheoretical and empirical bases of a ten-dimensional universe and even goes sofar as to discuss possible practical implications--such as being ableto escape the collapse of the universe. Yikes. Highly Recommended.
Product Description:
A vivid portrait of the theory of hyperspace by a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York discusses the superstring theory and the concept of a jigsaw-puzzle universe. Reprint. Tour. NYT.

- Modern Mathematics and Modern Physics
The central challenge of theoretical physics today is to unify the four fundamental forces--the electromagnetic force (electricity, magnetism, and light), the strong nuclear force (provides the energy that fuels the star, fusion), the weak nuclear force (governs certain form of radioactive decay), the gravitational force (keeps the earth and the planets in their orbits)--into a single force. Beginning with Einstein, the giants of physics have tried and failed to find such a unified mathematical ... Read More
Rating: - Great read
I have enjoyed all of his books and his attitude in science as far as he doesn't come across as feeling we know it all as scientists so often have.
Simply put even with no idea about higher dimensions /quantum mechanics or string theory you can still get what it means, so easy a child can start to understand it but indepth enough to get a real feel where science is at today in theory
Rating: - Terrific popular science
Hyperspace is a lively, fascinating, and highly readable account of state-of-the-art theoretical physics as of 1995.Arguably, the theories under discussion in this volume are outside the realm of science since they are at present, as they are likely to be into the far distant future, empirically unverifiable.Even so, as Kaku argues, science may yet uncover indirect evidence of wormholes, dimensions 5-10, and strings.Whether or not this proves true, one cannot help but be awed and delighted by the ...

- Good for lay people
The book is a good introduction to hypersapce,parallel universes, supergravity, string theory and every other physics theory difficult to understand for the lay person. Dr. Kaku interests the reader to a new worldof possibilities.
Rating: - good read-non-genius friendly.
good book. explains details in a way that laymen can comprehend. i never took any physics- but i was capable of understaning dr. kakus book. he is well spoken and well versed in the modern beliefs of theoretical science.
