Physicists and mathematicians all over the world are currently busy formulating one of the most ambitious theories: superstring theory. In their opinion, the key to the unified field theory - the integration of Einstein's theory of general relativity with the laws of quantum mechanics - is the world of tiny subatomic particles and everything in between.
As we know, all matter is made up of atoms and they themselves are made up of quarks and electrons. According to string theory, all the last tiny particles are loops of a string in oscillation.
What is string theory - this is the Torah that deals with the above-mentioned hidden dimensions that are required, scientists estimate, for a perfect understanding of the structure of the universe. Nevertheless, Prof. Brian Green's new book, "The Elegant Universe" which was published these days in Hebrew (translation: Amos Carmel) ), published by Mater.
Prof. Green, a lecturer in physics and mathematics at Columbia University in New York, a world-renowned scientist and researcher in string theory, presents in his book the discoveries on this subject as well as the mystery that remains, the frustration in which quite a few researchers who are interested in nature, the spaces of the universe, the dimension of time and problems the material
The book, which contains black-and-white illustrations of the type that is now accepted to be included in scientific articles in the field of theoretical physics, appeared for a long time on the best-seller lists in the United States, and its appearance in Hebrew is undoubtedly a "small celebration" for anyone who is willing to delve into - and also make an effort to understand during reading - the innovative problems raised by physics the modern.

The light passing through the barrier is recorded on a photographic board - when each crack is open or when only one is open and the other is closed.
