String theory. So why is it the theory of strings?! Contalon J.

Joseph's book of Conlon presents the reader with the exciting panorama of advanced studies in the theory of strings - the field of theoretical physics, fundamentally changing our ideas about the structure of the world in which we live. , we need a wise guide that has not only knowledge, but also pedagogical talent and a bright literary style. The more abstract theory, the more difficult the work of the mentor. And Joseph Contalon coped with her perfectly!

The book teases the imagination and inspires. There are practically no formulas in it. Instead of the calculation technique, the author describes their ideas, essence and meaning. Thanks to this approach, mathematics in the book appear not from the technical side, but from the ideological. The author draws a picture of modern fundamental physics in large strokes. Each fragment has been worked out, and the connections between them are indicated. As a result, the resulting canvas makes a deep and holistic impression.

Another advantage of the book is that the reader sees the panorama of modern physics in development, in the process of a clash of opposite opinions and ideas. Together with the direct participants in this process, the reader then plunges into the abyss of despair, running into serious contradictions and falling into dead ends, then the highest and most pure joy of knowledge is filled, when the contradictions are overcome, and from a deaf dead end there is a way to shining expanses of a fundamentally new level of understanding of nature.

This bright popular science book will undoubtedly give pleasure to both specialists and a wide circle of readers.
