Kaku comes dangerously close (for a Scientist) to exposing the “real world” and, if you like science, you will enjoy the way he does it. This book will stretch your mind, and not just laterally, adding more of the same to what you already know, but giving you a new perspective, and in ways so simple to understand. For instance, contrasting the strength of the gravitational force and the electromagnetic force, he suggests gravity is extremely weak — it takes the whole mass of the Earth spinning incredibly fast to hold a piece of paper on his desk; yet one swish of a metal or nylon comb through his hair and the comb, now containing a teensy bit of the electromagnetic force, can pick up the paper, defeating gravity. You can ignore the inevitable math (which he has to put in there so his cronies will know it is a serious book) and still gain everything of value in this book.
