  Amazon.co.uk: Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension: Books: ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The main problem with the book is that the author does tend to get off topic and ramble at certain points in the book.
In this superbly written book, Michio Kaku explains it all and "solves" it all by the theory of hyperspace.
I definitely recommend this book to those who want to have a glimpse of the future and understand and enjoy the various physical concepts which are being brought from the realm of science fiction to our present day reality.

  SETI Book Review: Surfing Through Hyperspace
Three dimensions are simply not sufficient to explain Pickover's astounding breadth of knowledge on such arcane matters as spacetime wormholes, random walks, and the enormous science fiction literature dealing with the higher dimensions.
Hyperspace is where physics, mathematics, and science fiction collide.
In this book, Clifford Pickover weaves a science fiction tale with embedded mathematical analysis that explains the fourth dimension in a unique and amusing way.

  Hyperspace (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension (1994) is a book by Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist from the City College of New York.
The recurring theme of the book is that all four forces of the universe (the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism and gravity) become more coherent and their description simpler in higher dimensions.
Hyperspace begins with a discussion of higher-dimensionality in history and culture before outlining the ideas of superstring theory, which hopes to achieve this unity of forces by modelling matter as composed of tiny vibrating strings.

Bearden is due, this book powerfully backs up the existence of classified weapons which use a brand new type of physics.
Bearden's book begins with his explanation of mysterious lights in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey, which seem to behave in the same elusive manner as "Blanche's beams".
Bearden's point in including them in his book is that they represent "miraculous" devices that appear miraculous because they tap into the "hyperspace" and "scalar" realm.

Terence: What I mean by a new map of hyperspace is this: I think that we've come to a place with the psychedelic experience where the validation of the maps of inner space that Freud and Jung put forward in the first half of this century are not valid or complete enough.
Terence: Yes, I called the book I wrote with my brother The Invisible Landscape because someone once said to me that psychedelic drugs were like magnesium flares dropped from aircraft; they would briefly illuminate a landscape and then darkness would reclaim everything.
Terence: Yes, perhaps hyperspace is not really what we want to get at, but the idea that there are occult (in the classical sense of hidden), dimensions to reality that are now accessible through the use of these psychedelic compounds.

 Hyperspace Reality
Of course, the idea of hyperspace goes way back to Plato (427-347 B.C.), who suggested in his Cave allegory, that we are like prisoners of the 3-d world, identifying ourselves with our 3-d shadows, rather than the hyper-dimensional creatures we really are.
Hyperspace as a word meaning a space of more than three dimensions was coined in the 1890s by mathematicians, who were exploring the geometries defined by Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) which were not only non-Euclidean (with any degree of warping--called "curvature"), but also were spaces of any number of dimensions.
But lower dimensional polytopes are substructures in higher dimensional polytopes, and the Coxeter graphs, which generate the mirrors for these reflections, control, by their hierarchical structure, the embedding of lower dimensional polytopes in the higher dimensional polytopes.

 Brain Channels - Hyperspace
Hyperspace has become a popularized term used to describe higher dimensions in the universe.
Various modern theories of hyperspace suggest that dimensions exist beyond the commonly accepted dimensions of space and time: the entire universe may exist in a higher-dimensional space.
The 4th dimension is not some wild drug induced idea; it has been confirmed to exist as it is used by physicists and mathematicians every day in their calculations.

 Deflating Hyperspace
Hyperspace seems to mean a lot of things, and then again not to mean much at all; its meaning shifts with the user, if not with the wind.
The "vision" of the book's title was a manifestation of the spirit world which "dictated" Yeats' poems, so he wrote, through the medium of his wife.
Back in the 19th century, Charnesky relates, "after the theosophists had used hyperspace to establish a bridge between their idea of higher planes and the geometrical concept of mirror images, the spiritualists moved in.

 Surfing Through Hyperspace
The term "hyperspace" is used popularly when referring to higher dimensions, and hyper- is the correct scientific prefix for higher-dimensional geometries.
The word "hyperspace" was coined by John W. Campbell in his short story "The Mightiest Machine" (1934), and the term has been used both by science-fiction writers and physicists ever since.
Some physicists also view hyperspace as a higher dimension in which our entire universe may be curved -- in the same way that a flat piece of paper can be flexed or rolled so that it curves in the third-dimension.

 String theory - Protoscience
That book is an attempt to translate the mathematics of hyperspace theory into ordinary language that can be understood by a wide audience.
This line of reasoning suggests that it might be possible to explain the diversity of subatomic particles and fundamental forces in terms of a theory of how an original hyperspace "broke" into two "parts"; our extended 4 dimensional space-time and an "invisible" group of several additional compact spatial dimensions.
String theory is a popular hyperspace theory in part because it easily accommodates gravity in terms of a spin=2 graviton.

 Review: Michio Kaku, Hyperspace
This book is an introduction to the esoteric theory of superstrings, a recent theory in physics which purports to unify quantum mechanics and relativity theory.
In fact the book reeks with all the most absurd idealist craziness that has infected modern theoretical physics to a degree far beyond that which horrified Lenin in his day.
He does constantly say in the book that the whole goal is to reduce physics to a geometrical theory.

The cover text positions this book as being vaguely about faster-than-light travel, but it's really about superstring theory, which is currently the only promising candidate for a Grand Unification Theory.
Kaku includes some simple fragments of mathematics, which is a refreshing change from most pop physics books which rigourously avoid anything resembling an equation, and provides a mathematically-aware reader more of an understanding.
The book managed to interest me in physics again (dispelling the distate I acquired before giving up on a B.Sc.

With it's extensive examples, the book doesn't seem to be written for my audience - it seems to be written for the innumerate of this world.
It is possible that this book would benefit with excercises which are answered in the back of the book.
To the book's credit, the areas of math which are covered need to be, and all the examples explain the concepts behind math in a manner which any layperson off the street could understand.

 Hyperspace - Book Review - by Michio Kaku
Maybe that's all your commonsense sense perception perceives, but there is growing and compelling evidence to suggest that we actually live in a universe of ten real dimensions.
This version, from the author of the graduate text Quantum Field Theory, is very curious as he delineates the "delicious contradictions" of the quantum revolution: that the new paradigms of subatomic matter require the existence of "hyperspace," an ultimate universe of many dimensions, to accomodate their mostly mathematical behaviors.
Unified field theory as it is currently understood does not preclude any of the hypotheses that Kaku invites to this Mad Hatter's Theory Party: superstrings, parallel universes and, his centerpiece, time travel.

String theory proclaims that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe, from the frantic dancing of subatomic quarks to the majestic swirling of heavenly galaxies, are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy, a billionth of a billionth the size of an atom.
In this brilliantly articulated and refreshingly clear book, Greene relates the scientific story and the human struggle behind twentieth-century physics' search for a theory of everything.
His book gives a clear, simple, yet masterful account that makes a complex theory very accessible to nonscientists but is also a delightful; read for the professional."—David M. Lee, professor of physics, Cornell University
