Description
What if the universe contains dimensions beyond the three we can see—and what if gravity seems weak because it extends into them? This accessible exploration of modern theoretical physics introduces readers to branes, extra dimensions, string theory, supersymmetry, and the search for a deeper framework beyond the Standard Model. Drawing on creative analogies and the pioneering braneworld models associated with the author’s research, it reveals how physicists investigate some of the universe’s most fundamental mysteries. Engaging and intellectually adventurous, the book offers a readable guide to the possibilities hidden beyond everyday experience.
