New forms of "dark'' energy? Signals from epochs preceding the Big Bang? Is our space-time unique? Only a joint study of the three topics examined in this book gravity, strings and particles may provide answers to these questions. Such a study may also provide the key to solving one of the most fascinating mysteries of modern science, namely: Besides time and the three spatial dimensions, how many other dimensions exist in our universe? The book is primarily addressed to readers who do not necessarily have a specific background in physics but are nevertheless interested in discovering the originality and the possible implications of some of the amazing ideas in modern theoretical physics. The emphasis is on conveying ideas rather than explaining formulas, focusing not on what is known but -- mainly -- on what is still unknown. Many parts of the book are devoted to fundamental theoretical models and results which are potentially highly relevant for a deeper understanding of Nature, but are still waiting to be confirmed (or disproved) by experiments. From this point of view, the material of this book may also be of interest to professional physicists, whether or not they work in the field of fundamental interactions. 000704962 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000704962 650_0 $$aGravity. 000704962 650_0 $$aString models. 000704962 650_0 $$aAstrophysics. 000704962 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGasperini, Maurizio.$$tGravity$$z3319005987$$w(OCoLC)880132235 000704962 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000704962 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-00599-7$$zOnline Access 000704962 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:704962$$pGLOBAL_SET 000704962 980__ $$aEBOOK 000704962 980__ $$aBIB 000704962 982__ $$aEbook 000704962 983__ $$aOnline 000704962 994__ $$a92$$bISE
