The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universes Hidden Dimensions Yau Shing-TungPaperback
String theory says we live in a ten-dimensional universe, but that only four are accessible to our everyday senses. In The Shape of Inner Space, Shing-Tung Yau, the man who mathematically proved that these manifolds exist, argues that not only is geometry fundamental to string theory, it is also fundamental to the very nature of our universe. According to theorists, the missing six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds.
Now for the first time, readers will follow Yau's penetrating thinking on where we've been, and where mathematics will take us next. Time and again, where Yau has gone, physics has followed. A fascinating exploration of a world we are only just beginning to grasp, The Shape of Inner Space will change the way we consider the universe on both its grandest and smallest scales.
