In his first book ever, the father of string theory
reinvents our concept of the known universe and mans unique
place within it. The beginning of the 21st century is a
watershed in modern science, a time that will forever change
our understanding of the universe, Leonard Susskind
contends. Several decades ago, Susskind introduced the
revolutionary concept of string theory to the world of
physical science. In doing so, he inspired a generation of
physicists who believed that the theory would uniquely
predict the properties of our universe. Now, in his first
book ever, Susskind argues that the very idea of such an
elegant theory no longer suits our understanding of the
universe, and that our narrow 20th-century view of a unique
universe will have to give way to the much broader concept
of a gigantic cosmic landscapea megaverse, pregnant with new
possibilities. His other contributions to physics are too
numerous to mention, but his recent victory in an argument
with Stephen Hawking over the nature of black holes made
headlines everywhere.
