Since Einstein, physicists have been pursuing a holy grail - a single theory that would order all of the subatomic particles in the universe and unify the four forces of nature. Such a theory would answer questions like: How did the Universe begin What is the origin of time What is matter What is the ultimate meaning of physical laws

F David Peat explains the development and meaning of the Superstring Theory in a thoroughly readable and dramatic manner accessible to lay readers with no knowledge of mathematics. The theory states that everything in the universe - matter, forces, even space itself - consistes of miniscule strings of ten dimensions, six of which are so tightly curled up that only four dimensions are visible to us. These superstrings both vibrate at a specific frequency (like a guitar string) and rotate in ten dimensional space (unlike a guitar string). The consequences of the Superstring Theory are nothing less than astonishing.
