The Great Beyond - Higher Dimensions, Parallel
Universes and the Extraordinary Search for a Theory of
Everything
by
Paul Halpern

Publication Date
01 September 2004

ISBN
047146595X

The concept of multiple unperceived dimensions in the
universe is one of the hottest topics in contemporary
physics. It is essential to current attempts to
explain gravity and the underlying structure of the
universe. The history of how such an unfathomable
concept has risen to prominence takes centre stage in
The Great Beyond. 

The story begins with Einstein's famous quarrel with
Heisenberg and Bohr, whose theories of uncertainty
threatened the order Einstein believed was essential
to the universe, and it was his rejection of
uncertainty that drove him to ponder the existence of
a fifth dimension.

Beginning with this famous disagreement and
culminating with an explanation of the newest "brane"
approach, author Paul Halpern shows how current
debates about the nature of reality began as age-old
controversies, and will address how the possibility of
higher dimensions has influenced culture over the past
one hundred years (visiting the work of H.G. Wells,
Salvador Dali and others).
