In this thrilling journey into the mysteries of our cosmos, bestselling author Michio Kaku takes us on a dizzying ride to explore black holes and time machines, multidimensional space and, most tantalizing of all, the possibility that parallel universes may lay alongside our own. Kaku skillfully guides us through the latest innovations in string theory and its latest iteration, M-theory, which posits that our universe may be just one in an endless multiverse, a singular bubble floating in a sea of infinite bubble universes. If M-theory is proven correct, we may perhaps finally find answer to the question, “What happened before the big bang?” This is an exciting and unforgettable introduction into the new cutting-edge theories of physics and cosmology from one of the pre-eminent voices in the field.

3.0 Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
"Good read, complement's Greene's books"Good read. Complement's Brian Greene's book "Fabric of the Cosmos". I recommend reading both, but if you only have time to read one, I'd recommend Greene's books.Kaku is no Brian Greene, but he tells a good story.

3.0 Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
After reading this book, I can finally read and understand the Wikipedia article on string theory.Though I could do without the first bit, and last couple of chapters (and all the unnecessary references to theology), the middle of the book, which gives an easy to grasp explanation of quantum theory,...
