The aim of this new revolution is to develop a &“theory of everything&”—a set of laws of physics that will explain all that can be explained, ranging from the tiniest subatomic particle to the universe as a whole. Here, readers will learn the ideas behind the theories, and their effects upon our world, our civilization, and ourselves.The Complete Idiot&’s Guide® String Theory explains how this exciting idea holds up against competing theories. In this Complete Idiot&’s Guide®, you get:• Clear explanation of quantum mechanics, Einstein&’s theories of relativity, and how string theory unites them. • A quick, easy-to-understand overview of competing theories and how they might be tested.• Fast facts about black holes, what&’s inside them, how they&’re made, and why they&’re so paradoxical. • Simple, smart tips to help you visualize extra dimensions.
