Description

This book
attempts to explain why string theory may provide the comprehensive underlying
theory that describes and explains our world. It is an enthusiastic view of how
compactified string/M-theories, plus data that may be reachable, seem to have
the possibilities of leading to a comprehensive underlying theory of particle
physics and cosmology, perhaps soon. We are living in a hugely exciting era for
science, one during which it may be possible to achieve a real and true
understanding of our physical world.

Founded on
three decades of research, this second edition covers the Planck scale, Higgs
physics, supersymmetry and supersymmetry breaking, the Hierarchy problem, dark
matter, inflation, hidden sectors, future colliders, testing theories in
physics, possible limits to understanding, and more.

Key
Features

• Written
  by a world-leading authority on compactified string theory
• Provides simple and informative
  explanations of many topics
• Accessible to both physicists
  and general readers interested in string theory
• Provides glimpses of future
  experiments that may provide strong tests of the theory, and experiments
  that could potentially detect dark matter
• The second edition includes new
  material from compactified M-theory identifying the physical inflaton,
  explaining the matter asymmetry, mass-energy scales of particle physics
  and cosmology, cosmological histories, dark matter candidates, supersymmetry
  breaking, future colliders and possible tests
