String Theory: So why exactly string theory?!

The book of Joseph Contain presents the reader to 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.
A inquisitive reader who wants to understand the essence of the theory of strings, needs a wise conductor who has not only knowledge, but also pedagogical talent and a vivid 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 unfolding in it in development, in the process of a collision 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, is filled with the highest and most pure joy of knowledge, when the contradictions are overcome, and from a deaf dead end there is a way to the radiant 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 range of readers.
Comment
“The book“ So why is it the theory of strings? ”Perfectly reveals the scientific, historical and philosophical foundations of one of the most intriguing scientific theories of the twenty -first century”
Marcus Du Hundred, professor at the Department of Popularization of Science named after Ch. Simoni Oxford University, Great Britain, author of Music of simple numbers


“With the amazing clarity and ease of presentation, Confall builds the building of string theory so that the reader is imbued with the importance of these scientific ideas. He balancedly describes the successes and failures of the theory of strings and gives an argumented answer to its critics. This is a timely, smart and exciting book that describes delight and despair from research on the forefront of theoretical physics.
Pedro Ferreira, professor of astrophysics of Oxford University, Great Britain, author of Ideal theory


“A very exciting and relevant discussion of the theory of strings, its main goals and achievements ... I strongly recommend to the curious readers interested in fundamental physics”
