New fundamental forces of Nature? New forms of "dark'' energy?
Signals from epochs preceding the Big Bang? Is our space-time
unique? Only a joint study of the three topics examined in this
book - gravity, strings and particles - may provide answers to
these questions. Such a study may also provide the key to solving
one of the most fascinating mysteries of modern science, namely:
Besides time and the three spatial dimensions, how many other
dimensions exist in our universe?
The book is primarily addressed to readers who do not necessarily
have a specific background in physics but are nevertheless
interested in discovering the originality and the possible
implications of some of the amazing ideas in modern theoretical
physics. The emphasis is on conveying ideas rather than explaining
formulas, focusing not on what is known but -- mainly -- on what is
still unknown. Many parts of the book are devoted to fundamental
theoretical models and results which are potentially highly
relevant for a deeper understanding of Nature, but are still
waiting to be confirmed (or disproved) by experiments. From this
point of view, the material of this book may also be of interest to
professional physicists, whether or not they work in the field of
fundamental interactions.
