Il piccolo libro delle stringhe

Could not finish In a 150 page book for laymen,you should not be able to get your audience to the point the they can understand sentences like "...D5-branes are exchanged with solitonic 5-branes, and D3-branes are unaffected by the duality..." Actually, you should never write sentences like that. Real Leggi tutto

This book is a mystery. "The Little Book of String Theory" occupies a strange space: not accessible enough to be a true introduction, yet not technical enough to be more than a primer for those with more familiarity with the topic. It is therefore an admirable attempt, with enough successes to invit Leggi tutto

Olayi ana hatlariyla anlatan bir kitap. Okuyup not alip, sonra isin matematigine gomulmek gerek. Bir iki ilginc fikir vermedi degil. Arada tekrar tekrar okumam gerekecek.

Well, I guess the Gubser method of instruction does not work too well on me. Having finished a beautiful, elegant popular-level explanation of the main competing quantum gravity theory to strings - LQG - I wanted to be fair and look (once again) into what the deal is with those damn strings and wheth Leggi tutto

Not easy to understand if you do not have a science background. However if you do you won’t be disappointed with this purchase as the author does an amazing job of describing string theory in layman’s terms.

يحوى الكثير من المصطلحات الصعبة. يحتاج إلى معرفة مسبقة بنظرية الوتر وما تحتويه. بالنسبة إلي كشخص لا يمتلك معرفة كبيرة بنظرية الوتر او فيزياء جسيمات الطاقة العالية فقد كان تحديا كبيرا. لكن قراءته كانت ممتعة. Leggi tutto
