The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory Audiobook

" Amazing book that blows your mind with all the posibilty modern physics has to offer. "

" there is no better book to explain string theory to the layperson "

" Very cool content and as easy a read as any string theory book can be. Really opened my eyes and gave me new lenses to view the world through. "

" So far, so good. I am about a third of the way through the book, and I will say not only that Greene's exlplanations are clear, but that he accurately anticipates the questions a layperson such as I will have. Another book I read, by Leonard Mlodinow I think, claimed to be for laypeople, but really it was full of vague explanations and annoying jokes. This book is much better. "

" This is some mind-blowing stuff for those of us without an extensive background in quantum mechanics and astrophysics. Greene explains this pretty well for the lay reader, and I was able to grasp much but not all of what he says. Not quite on a par with "Brief History of Time" by Hawking in terms of bringing a complex subject matter within easy grasp of the lay reader. "

" If you need to read one of Brian's books, I would choose The Fabric of the Cosmos, but this one is fun too. Deep, but fun. "

" Not nearly as accessible or readable as the reputation would have you believe. The back half is virtually incomprehensible to someone without a significant background in modern physics. "

" Took some deep thinking to follow all of this, but it is fascinating stuff. Makes me wish I had majored in Physics in college. "

" Great book on modern physics from Einstein and relativity to String Theory and beyond. Greene does a very good job of helping the reader conceptualize some pretty difficult subjects. "

" The absolute best book on this topic. Brian Greene can explain the most complex and abstract topics in plain English, truly fascinating. "

" Speaks well to a non-technical person, as I am. Not condescending. Very readable, accessible. I was glad I'd read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" first. "

" Brian Greene taught me everything I know about string theory! His writing is engaging and he makes astrophysics accessible to non-scientists. Five stars for that epic feat. "

" This book took me a while to get through but was well worth the effort. I will read this one again. "

" Excellent. Easy to understand - relatively. "

" love reaffirming my super UNintelligence....after all these years, still a "naive imp"...wtf "

" One of the best "science" books that I have read. Makes me want to go back to school ... "

" Incredible book. He has a nack for explaining the super complicated in a super simple manner. I recommend this to anyone who is even slightly interested in the subject matter. "

" This book made my head hurt but in a good way. Like a brain massage. "

" about halfway through! Good stuff! "

" my frist book in reading about the theory of everything. "

" A good introduction to modern science. "

" if is this real...then we should probably re-allocate the meaning of real... "

" Greene is as good as Hawking at explaining super complicated subjects in a manner that normal people can understand. "

" Absolutely fantastic !!!! not just good science, a Good read and humorous too. "

" It's very enjoyable. The use of analogy greatly aids in the presentation of the book's content, making the seemingly complex rather intuitive. "

" An amazing popularization of the progress and current state of cosmology. Most of the math is in the end notes, but the concepts are not intuitive and careful reading is required. "
