In this thrilling journey into the mysteries of our cosmos,bestselling author Michio Kaku takes us on a dizzying ride toexplore black holes and time machines, multidimensional space and,most tantalizing of all, the possibility that parallel universesmay lay alongside our own.

If M-theoryis proven correct, we may perhaps finally find answer to thequestion, “What happened before the big bang?” This is an excitingand unforgettable introduction into the new cutting-edge theoriesof physics and cosmology from one of the pre-eminent voices in thefield.
