Superforce: The Search for a Grand Unified Theory of Nature
Superforce The Search for a Grand Unified Theory of Nature Author:Paul Davies The brilliant author of God and the New Physics and the edge of Infinity, physicist Paul Davies, writes that we may be on the verge of realizing mankind's age-old dream of a unified understanding of the universe. Recent revolutions in the new physics and the new cosmology have radically altered the modern scientist's perspective on... more » the physical world, and some scientists now believe that tall of nature is ultimately under the control of a single superforce, which weaves together space, time and matter into a Grand Unified Theory. Bringing together the frontiers of high-energy particle physics and cosmology, the superforce explains what caused the big bang that gave birth to the universe, and how the foundations of the cosmic structures we now see were forged in the microseconds that followed. It also suggests a bizarre new idea -- that space and time are in reality eleven-dimensional, with the unseen dimensions of space masquerading as nuclear and electromagnetic forces.
With the superforce unleashed, we could change the structure of space and time, tie our own knots in nothingness, and build the matter to order. Controlling the superforce would enable us to construct the transmute particles at will thus generating exotic forms of the matter. We might even be able to manipulate the dimensionally of space itself. creating a bizarre artificial worlds with unimaginable properties. Truly, we should be Lords of the Universe.« less
