“The Elegant Universe” By: Brian Greene
Review By: Evan Linman
The Elegant Universe is a book written by Theoretical Physicist and String Theorist Brian Greene and helps introduce the ideas of String and Superstring Theory to the readers without the use of pompous and over complex language which helps even a casual reader understand the ideas being explained to them. With a successful Emmy–winning television adaptation and its placing as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, The Elegant Universe has helped introduce fascinating ideas and complex theories to an ever broadening audience of everyone from students to famed Physicists. Though the theories may have flaws, if proven true they have the potential to create a unified theory of physics that has the ability to change how we comprehend our lives and life’s existence itself.
