Description

Everything you need to know about physics, written in language anyone can follow by one of the greatest living physicists.

This Way to the Universe is a celebration of the astounding, ongoing scientific investigations that have revealed the nature of reality at its smallest, at its largest, and at the scale of our daily lives. The enigmas Professor Michael Dine discusses are like landmarks on a fantastic journey to the edge of the universe.

Dine is widely recognised as one of the greatest living physicists, having made profound contributions to our understanding of matter, time, the Big Bang, and even what might have come before it. Asked where to find out about the Big Bang, Dark Matter and Energy, the Higgs boson—the cutting edge of physics now—Dine had no single book he could recommend. This is his accessible, authoritative, and up-to-date answer.

Written in language anyone can follow, if you are looking for one book to help you understand physics, this is it.

About the Author

Michael Dine is Distinguished Professor of Physics at the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, University of California. One of the world's leading physicists, he has made important contributions to our understanding of particle physics and string theory, has proposed arguably the leading candidate for the identity of the dark matter, and put forth some of the most promising ideas to explain why our universe consists of something rather than nothing. This is his first book for a general readership.
