Praise for "The Great Beyond": "A marvelous book-very clear, very
readable. A brilliant introduction to the math and physics of
higher dimensions, from Flatland to superstrings. Its greatest
strength is a wealth of fascinating historical narrative and
anecdote. I enjoyed it enormously." - Ian Stewart, author of
"Flatterland". "A remarkable journey from Plato's cave to the
farthest reaches of human thought and scientific knowledge. This
mind-boggling book allows readers to dream strange visions of
hyperspace, chase light waves, explore Klein's quantum odyssey and
Kaluza's cocoon, leap through parallel universes, and grasp the
very essence of conscience and cosmos. Buy this book and feed your
head." - Clifford Pickover, author of "A Passion for Mathematics".
"Halpern looks with a bemused eye at the wildest ideas currently
afoot in physics. He takes us into the personal world of those who
relish and explore seemingly outlandish notions, and does it with a
light, engaging style." - Gregory Benford, author of "Foundation's
Fear". "An informative, stimulating, and thoughtful presentation at
the very frontiers of contemporary physics.;It is quite on a par
with Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" or his more recent "The
Fabric of the Cosmos", and as such, deserves to receive wide
non-specialist coverage among an intelligent, curious, thinking
public." - Professor E. Sheldon, "Contemporary Physics".
