A Journey Through Creation, Higher

Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos

   Hello Guys!!! So as you know that sometimes i post many blog that review things like movie and music (which actually only two) and today i will do it again, this time about book! And guess what will i review??? It's Michio Kaku's Parallel Wold!!!

"In this thrilling journey into the mysteries of our cosmos, bestselling author Michio Kaku takes us on a dizzying ride to explore black holes and time machines, multidimensional space and, most tantalizing of all, the possibility that parallel universes may lay alongside our own. Kaku skillfully guides us through the latest innovations in string theory and its latest iteration, M-theory, which posits that our universe may be just one in an endless multiverse, a singular bubble floating in a sea of infinite bubble universes. If M-theory is proven correct, we may perhaps finally find answer to the question, “What happened before the big bang?” This is an exciting and unforgettable introduction into the new cutting-edge theories of physics and cosmology from one of the pre-eminent voices in the field."

   Now you know the details about this book, now why am I choose this? Simple, its because Michio Kaku's Book are amazing! As we know that Michio Kaku is a very popular cosmologist from Japan that has been appearing in many TV channel, Youtube Channel, and even many websites, explaining many things in Cosmology and Astronomy, including every modern Cosmology that human learn today.

   Plot

   First of all, we must understand that unlike any other normal novel, Michio Kaku's books are like the story about a person that tries to learn and explain the universes, like how it is created, how does it works, and what would happen in a million years from now to our world? How will it ends? This "Parallel World" book will focuses on, just like what the title said, The Parallel World. 

   Lets take a look on the contents to have the concepts

                                                                                                        

PART I: THE UNIVERSE

chapter one      : Baby Pictures of the Universe                                              

chapter two      : The Paradoxical Universe                                                     

chapter three    : The Big Bang                                                                        

chapter four     : Inflation and Parallel Universes                                            

PART II: THE MULTIVERSE

chapter five     : Dimensional Portals and Time Travel                                   

chapter six       : Parallel Quantum Universes                                                  

chapter seven   : M-Theory: The Mother of All Strings                                   

chapter eight    : A Designer Universe?                                                           

chapter nine     : Searching for Echoes from the Eleventh Dimension            

PART III: ESCAPE INTO HYPERSPACE

chapter ten       : The End of Everything                                                         

chapter eleven : Escaping the Universe                                                          

chapter twelve : Beyond the Multiverse                                                         

                                                                                          

   As i said before, we can see that Michio tries to express all his knowledge and hypothesis about the universe he know, and it is mind blowing because he is one of the smartest cosmologist in the world (There were Einstein, Hawking, Sagan, Neil Tyson, and Hubble), in fact, he is one of the founders of the "String Theory", which is a theory that describes our Universe completely, that's why it is also known as "The Theory Of Everything".

Ok, not to be a smarty pants, i will write the plot with an easy language that you guys can understand!

Part I: The Universe

   In This chapter, Michio focuses to an introduction of our universe, mainly on how was is created. He brings an image of how our universe looks like a billion years ago, things that we human cant explain named "Paradox", "The Big Bang" which is believed as a massive event that creates our universe, and an inflation of our universe, which explains that our universe is expanding and keep expanding until now.

Part II: The Multiverse

   This is where it all gets interesting (which is actually already interseting in the first place), Michio starts to explains amazing thing that out of our universe, like eleven dimension, parallel quantum universe, and the most striking "M-Theory" that known as the mother of all String Theory, this is an ultimate theory that human ever created because it explains the universe ENTIRELY! It explain that our universe is like a string attached to a membrane, and there were many of it! Yes, which means that there are still many other universe beside us, known as the "Parallel Universe", this is called "The Multiverse", a subject that believe that our universe is just one of many other infinite parallel world in the universe.

Part III: Escape Into Hyperspace

   The last but not least, this is the most difficult ones to understand because, well... can be say that this chapter contains many mind-blowing hypothesis about how to escape from our universe to another parallel universe, and even far beyond the multiverse! Dont forget that this chapter also explains about how will our universe ends, from the "Big Chill" theory that believe our universe will die frozen in billion years from now, to the "Big Crunch" that believe our universe will collapse to its gravity and form an infinitely dense and small sphere of universe that far smaller than the atom known as "singularity".

Conclusion

   Lets say that we finally understand this book, so whats the review? For me this book is amazing because it contains many amazing and mind-blowing (relax, this is just a phrase) theory, hypothesis, and facts that i didnt know before. There are many things to discover and to learn in this book, as i said that Michio is one of the founder of "String Theory", it is completely undoubted that this book was written well by a professional cosmologist. I Really recommend this book for those who wants to learn deeper about the universe, especially those who love Cosmology. Also this book was written with a good language, note that Michio use the word "Heaven" to mention the space because it is very beautiful as it is.

  Well thats all from me, see you next time!!!
