«El universo elegante» is Brian Greene's popular science essay, published in hardcover (640 pages, in Spanish).
Brian Greene explains how relativity and quantum mechanics, the two pillars of twentieth-century physics, converge in the search for a single law that Einstein pursued for years. Faced with that challenge, he presents superstring theory: all matter and forces in the universe would arise from the vibration of microscopic loops of energy in hidden dimensions, beyond known spacetime.
The work, translated by Mercedes García Garmilla, won the Royal Society Science Book Prize and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Aimed at readers curious about theoretical physics and cosmology who want an accessible introduction to the major problems of modern science.
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.
