«El universo elegante» is Brian Greene's popular science essay, published by Editorial Crítica in hardcover (472 pages, in Spanish).
Brian Greene brings the non-specialist reader closer to superstring theory and the possibility of additional dimensions, within the search for a theory that unifies the laws of physics. He explains the tension between quantum mechanics and relativity, and why superstrings could be the key to understanding the cosmos.
First volume of the Drakontos collection from Editorial Crítica, published in October 2001.
Recommended for readers curious about modern physics who seek a clear approach to superstrings and cosmology.
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.
