Brilliant book
It is some time since I read this, to me, superb book, which is one of the kind that one lends or gives to people because one feels sure that everyone's life would be improved by reading it.That means that I have been without a copy of my own for some time and felt that a re read was in order, so I ordered a hardback copy which I will be less likely to give away or lend (and not get back, as is so often the case with paper backs ?).So it is quite a while since I read this brilliantly comprehensive overall picture setting work about of the leading edge of Blue Sky Science.I have seen some nit picking pedants criticise the odd error in some of the finer details which I feel, given the range and scale of the subjects and recent history covered speaks more about the inadequacies of the critics rather than those of the author.However, speaking of professional critics I couldn't do better than refer anyone interested to the critics comments on the cover of the book which if I remember correctly are given in the info on the book shown in Amazon.For me the book is more like reading a "can't put it down' novel that one rather wishes would never have an ending.Of course with a book covering so many fascinating areas of science the overall story so brilliantly put in a meaningful overall context by Professor KaKu is a never ending one and a pretty comprehensive list of recommended reading is provided.However, the beauty of the book is that I feel that anyone would enjoy this book, even if they knew nothing about Science which is one of it's virtues (apart from the cost of giving copies to everyone - the only negative for me and hence the hardback which I do not intend to give away or lend).The history and anecdotes about some of the leading lights in the 20th Century I found particularly beneficial and of great interest to those knowing little or nothing about Science.There is, to me, a disarmingly likeable overall attitude to Michio Kaku which leaves his style as pleasingly ego free which so suits the role he plays in this book as enthusiastic commentator rather than single track expert with an axe to grind presented by a glory seeker wanting to 'make his name' which I find spoils so many books written by childishly egotistical males.The bubbly enthusiasm and delight in the overall picture I found to provide a lift that was like playing in tops of the waves with more than enough depth to get one's feet wet but never any risk of becoming saturated let alone drowned in detail.For me it was a perfectly balanced presentation that managed to present an astonishing breadth of stimulatingly relevant subjects in a satisfyingly educational overall context that left one feeling one's life had been changed for the better by the book that for me put the book in a place of it's own.It seems a bit to trite to sum it up as 'entertainingly educational' as it was rather more than that, which brings me back to suggesting reading the opinions of the professional readers.I would recommend this book to anyone without hesitation. The fact that it presents the history along with the cutting edge means that it will never be out of date in any overall sense I feel, particularly for the non technical or those without any particular interest in science very few of whom I feel will be left in that position having read the book.

Continuous Improvement
This is one book that will captivate your mind.It is simply astounding. I am from a physics background so it made it more enjoyable but don't worry even if are not, you will grasp the concept.Now I want to ask who observes Wigners Friend ad infinitum

A feast for imagination
I have just finished the best pop-science book I have ever read (including Balcombe's "Pleasurable Kingdom" which I found very well-written, perfectly constructed and also deeply touching; a No. 1 until now).The subject of the book is mind-blowing and it is extremely difficult to stay focused on the reading for a length of time, because it inspires and stretches imagination to the limits. I just couldn't stop picturing things in my head! Certainly, this effect is brought mainly by the information which one could derive from any other book on the subject of the string theory, but Kaku has a great gift of clear, understandable and entertaining writing.And he simply seems to be a great guy, a person delighted in the mysterious beauty of the world(s) who puts a genuine effort in facilitating the knowledge of it to as wide an audience as possible. I did have to consult wikipedia occasionally, but generally the book is very self-contained: the writing is easy on the reader, and the apparatus helps in managing information.The book has one disadvantage: it is full of spoilers! Kaku refers to many sci-fi novels that seem like a lot of fun, so if you don't know them, you might risk a spoilt pleasure.I have the deepest respect for the Author for the last pages of the book, which send an optimistic message: we are here to learn, discover and make changes for the better. We are, right here and now, in that crucial civilisation stage which requires us to be careful and wise so we can perceive and participate in the universe with more awareness and impact than ever before. If we take the right social and moral standing today, we might be able to understand and enter the worlds previously unseen, become the observers who can truly understand and manage life, matter and intelligence. Is it overly optimistic? Perhaps, but it gives us a great purpose to follow, and it's nicer to keep going with such in mind instead of living with the vision of desolation and doom.

Easy to read for people who is not expert in the field
It's amazing how all the theories and possibilities are exposed and explained.I like that the language used makes black holes, other universes, cords theory understandable for people like me who are not familiar with the topic.

The most perfect book on space.
The special thing about this book is that you open any random page, it'll engage you in it... The language is so simple yet with everything explained in a very concise manner. You might assume you already know everything about black holes, time travel, warp drives, multiverses, types of civilizations, but once you read all about them in the book you'll get to know more and more about 'em and it's soo much interesting and engaging that you can never get bored of the information it has to offer.In the book, Michio Kaku explains well about everything... From the very beginning of the universe to the idea of creating an universe by yourself!The only problem about the book is that it has been published in 2006 so no mentions of the recent year discoveries such as the finding of The God particle, first ever quantum teleportation by the Chinese, image of the M87 black hole, the very first black hole to be captured in all of its glory.The cover quality could've been better, overall it's money well spent.

If you are fascinated by cosmology and physics relating to the cosmos this book is for you.
As those into the hard sciences know we have come a long way in the study of modern day physics and cosmology. What used to be considered science fiction and pseudoscience has become acceptable and valid scientific theories and hypothesis. The last six months I have been reading numerous books on physic, cosmology, time travel and related topics. I just finished this fascinating 436 page soft book (Parallel Worlds: The science of alternative universes and our future in the cosmos by Michio Kaku) and found it to be a delightful read.I had read sever previous books by this author so I was familiar with his work. This book explains in great detail the most recent developments in physics and cosmological theories. This easy to read book is organized into three parts:The first part (The Universe) covers baby pictures of the universe, the paradoxical universe, the big bang, and inflation and parallel universes. The second part (The multiverse) explores dimensional portals and time travel, parallel Quantum Universes, M-Theory, a designer universe, and searching for echoes from the eleventh dimension. The final part (Escape into hyperspace) focuses on the end of everything, escaping the universe and beyond the multiverse.If cosmology, physics and other universes fascinates you this is a book you should check out.Rating: 5 Stars.

One of my Top 5 books on this topic!
I would very highly recommend this book to whoever wants to know where we're at with cosmology because Michio is an incredible story teller and his explanations are easy to grasp and to the point. I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down! I also enjoying reading about his own views on the subject since he's very involved with strong theory. Wonderful work!
