The Elegant Universe



The Elegant Universe -- superstrings, hidden dimensions, and the quest for the ultimate theory
Brian Greene
ISBN 4-7942-1109-0 (Japanese Translation)

About 15 years ago, I was a graduate student and majored in theoretical physics of elementary particles.

In those days, it was a dream to have the Theory of Everything which can make predictions that make sense. But, 15 years is long, and I was surprised to know that there were great progresses past 10 years and now we can say the goal is hopefully approaching.

BTW, I love StarTrek, and I'm wondering if we can say
"Let's seek out the final frontier!" someday. :)
