In this book, Brian Greene explains how the great theories of relativity and quantum mechanics have led to the biggest problem facing Physics today: the search for a law that unifies all others, a law that Einstein pursued in vain for thirty years and which is given the name "superstring theory". With mastery, clarity and deep knowledge, Greene offers us in the most brilliant contribution that has been written so far to make accessible to the general public this last mystery of nature that would finally explain everything.
Brian Randolph Greene is an American physicist known for his research on string theory. He is a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, director of its center for theoretical physics, and the chairman of the World Science Festival, which he co-founded in 2008. Greene co-discovered mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi–Yau manifolds. He also described the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, and the conifold transition, a more severe transformation of space, showing that topology can smoothly change in string theory.
