Already thoroughly familiar to the seasoned science fiction fan, Hyperspace is that realm which enables a spaceship captain to take his ship on a physics-defying shortcut (or "wormhole") to the outer shores of the Galaxy in less time than it takes a 747 to fly from New York to Tokyo. But in the past few years, physicists on the cutting edge of science have found that a 10-dimensional Hyperspace may actually exist, albeit at a scale almost too small to comprehend, smaller even than a quark; and that in spite of its tiny size, it may be the basis on which all the forces of nature will be united. This is the first book for a general audience on one of the latest, most exciting developments in modern science. In the past several years, theoretical physicists--the author among them--have discovered that the universe exists not merely in the four spacetime dimensions (3 of space + one of time) with which Einstein made us familiar, but rather as a ten-dimensional Hyperspace. Once the domain of the science fiction writer or the occultist, Hyperspace has recently been shown to be the only kind of space in which the laws of modern physics can be satisfactorily explained. Amazingly enough, many of the phenomena whose explanations have stymied 20th century physicists and cosmologists can now be perfectly clarified by using the ten dimensions of Hyperspace. Most importantly, Einstein's unfulfilled dream, the work on which he spent the last several decades of his life in vain--the unification of all the forces of nature--now sits waiting on the ten-dimensional doorstep of modern theoretical physicists. Michio Kaku--theoretical high-energy physicist, author, radio talkshow host, and nuclear disarmament activist--is one of the pioneers in the field of String Theory, which states that the basic constituents of our universe are not quarks or protons or electrons, but much smaller entities called "strings" or "superstrings", which vibrate--like violin strings--in 10 dimensional Hyperspace, and whose vibrations in different resonances are manifested in the elementary particles. In his book, Kaku takes the reader on a ride through Hyperspace to the edge of physics. On the way he gives crystal clear explanations of such formidable mathematical concepts as non-Euclidean Geometry, Kaluza-Klein Theory, and Supergravity, the everyday tools of the string theorist. Utilizing fascinating and often hilarious anecdotes from history, from art, and from science fiction, Kaku shows us that writers and artists--in addition to scientists--have been fascinated by multidimensional space for over a century. In fact, many of the weird effects created by such famous artists as Dali and Picasso can be explained and more appreciated with an eye on the fourth spatial dimension. Finally, Kaku shows us why the ability to master Hyperspace may be our only salvation from destruction at the end of space-time. This lively yet authoritative book is spiced with many whimsical illustrations in a style reminiscent of the late science writer George Gamow.

读后感

配合三体三一起看，我是先看了三体三，后买了这本书 读完后发现这本书是对三体的良好补充 四维碎片撞击地球 11维宇宙 ........ 都有相关描述 所以强烈建议两本书一起看 最好是先看超越时空再看三体3  

这本书的作者加来道雄是一位很出名的理论物理学家，貌似曾获过诺贝尔奖，钻研在高维度空间领域，或者说是弦理论领域。 他在书里写到，我们这些生活在地球上的人类或许一开始并不知道为什么会出现春夏秋冬四季变化的现象，可能会误以为有某种神秘的自然力在操控着季节...  

如果黎曼-爱因斯坦-卡鲁查-克莱因等老师的方向是正确的、那么如果在我们可以观察的空间中存在不平坦、这可能就足以说明更高维数是一定存在的、而不只是、比如说、是为啦在理论计算上的需要 也就是说、即使更高的维数不可观察、但是只要可观察的空间是不平坦的、那么这就足以说...  

书刚刚到货的时候，看着厚厚的书页和密密麻麻的字，总觉得自己会看不下去。但是看了之后发现，真的引人入胜，尤其是前半部分描述四维时空，每读完一部分总要停下来回味思考一番，读完也是感觉意犹未尽。 在古代我们不能通过仪器观察到整个地球的时候，肯定会觉得地球是个球体是...  

十年前就看过了这本书。已经忘记了到底是为的什么买的这本书，可能只是随便一翻，随后就翻到了那个现在看来也超牛无比的一个人在时空中旅行成为了自己的生父、生母、女儿、儿子以及安排自己进行时空旅行的人。这就是鼎鼎大名的Robert Heinlein的All you zombies，他是写过《星...

量子和弦还是不能怎么理解，但是有公式的都查着资料自己推导证明了一遍，我真觉得自己是物理天才啊！书的结构很适合文科生，里面的东西也都能看懂，推荐。

前后看得很快，第二部分看得很痛苦，Nemesis灭绝论很有意思

本来想给二星，想了一想，觉得还没那么糟，至少首次了解了超弦理论、十维空间……当然，未经证实的平行时空，是否存在，依然存疑。
