The fabric of the cosmos

From the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe comes the widely anticipated new book that unearths the strange and startling layers lying beneath the everyday world--and reality as we know it. In his characteristically witty and accessible prose, Greene explores the nature of space--from Newton's static realm, through Einstein's fusion of space and time, to recent breakthroughs suggesting that ours may be one of many island universes moving through the multi-dimensional fabric of space. We are introduced to the volatile world of quantum physics, paradoxical nature of time--which, according to the laws of physics, does not necessarily need to run in any one particular direction--and made to wonder: is there a unified theory of the universe?
