Energy -- Quantum mechanics -- Gravity and black holes -- String theory -- Branes -- String dualities -- Supersymmetry and the LHC -- Heavy ions and the fifth dimension.
"The Little Book of String Theory offers a short, accessible, and entertaining introduction to one of the most talked-about areas of physics today. String theory has been called "the theory of everything." It seeks to describe all the fundamental forces of nature. It encompasses gravity and quantum mechanics in one unifying theory. But it is unproven and fraught with controversy. After reading this book, you'll be able to draw your own conclusions about string theory."--BOOK JACKET.
