A fantastic summary of cosmology/string theory and esoteric possibilities like time travel, warp drives, brane theory etc.

In this book you will learn about

1) The Big bang
2) Membrane theory - a theory in support of the big bang. (collision of 2 branes creating the big bang. 2 Branes are like 2 loaves of bread with hyperspace in between them and imagine we are on one of the loaves of bread. For us even with the 3 dimensions, we cant reach out of this loaf of bread and get to the other bread. The the other bread is another brane.)
3) Black holes and white holes
4) worm Hole - Connecting 2 points in the universe, cutting accross the crossection of the universe (The Universe being warped space time)
5) What is hyperspace ?
6) String theory - 11 dimensional space and M theory
7) Time travel - is it possible and what will be required.
8) Negative energy and the casimir effect. Methods of creations of negative energy.
9) Antimatter.
10) Possibilty of Multiple universes just a millimeter away from us.
11) Black hole physics.

Great book !!!!

It will open your mind to newer dimensions of appreciation of particle physics and cosmological mysteries which physicists are working on. All I can say is long live Michio Kaku and the likes of him who popularize esotric concepts and bring it to the level of you and me.

Humanity's Exit Strategy

The Humanity's Exit Strategy, 4 Jun 2007

Michio Kaku's "Parallel Worlds" is the best popular science non-fiction ever written. Its breakthrough theories reach out to the most naive reader with such a strength that whatever you've known about the Big Bang or religious essays on the beginning and the end of our world, suddenly becomes a tiny moment caught in the universe yet ever-evolving.

It has very logical structure on complex issues such as the essence of non-material dark energy that apparently consists the 73 percent of the energy in our universe, the bubble theories of the existence of parallel universes where the humanity can move to as our planet comes to an end due to the unavoidable universal freeze. Thus, he masterfully presents the idea of multiverses that co-exist in a string, subject to ongoing Big Bangs here and there. As he narrates "...entire universes continually sprout or "bud" off other universes. If true, it would unify two of the great religious mythologies, Genesis and Nirvana. Genesis would take place continually within the fabric of timeless Nirvana".

(Those of you who have also read Simon Singh's "The Big Bang" suddenly have another appreciation of that author as well for his bringing up in a Buddhist family who nevertheless sent him off to a Catholic Sunday School had made him one of the most read scientists.)

Decoding Einstein's and Darwin's at their time distant theories on reading "the God's Mind" and the "end of humanity", Michio Kaku unveils the latest developments in the scientific world on the humanity's beginning and future, claiming that even a string of Big Bangs and multiverses would still need an ultimate creator/composer...

This book is a definite buy on the most indefinite questions we have.

It's A Possibility

Michio Kaku has created a scenario of possibilities in the evolution of this world. Kaku explores the potentials of parallel worlds and realities. In quantum physics anything is possible. Kudos for Kaku. Bettye Johnson, award-winning author, Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls.

Great Introduction for the layman

I truly enjoyed this book. It covers very profound subjects in a manner that the average layman can understand. With this book, I had to read it in small bites. Each page was packed to thought provoking ideas. After reading a little, I wanted to just sit, think and reflect. It is good book to read with others. The ideas need to be discussed to be absorbed.

I enjoyed the cosmology, the string theory, M-theory, and the standard model. I had heard about them but I never knew much about them. The author lets you know which areas are hotly debated in the science world. Most books about this subject have too much math for me to work through.

The ending was a little too much.
