Today's Big Bang theory is the tottering vestige of a nearly 100-year-old belief--basing "all" on an initial cataclysmic event. Dr. Peter Strassberg helps to nudge this antiquated artifice into its appropriate receptacle, the dust-bin of history. his book explores the concept of a higher-dimensional sphere and, in so doing, helps to simplify both the cosmic and quantum realms. The ideas, supported with clear illustrations, are easy to follow. Most of the annoying and tedious math is placed where it belongs, in an appendix. the book helps the reader visualize that "other" plane and begin to grasp the mystery and subtlety of the extraordinarily large and the vanishingly small. it allows for a thoroughly thought-provoking journey.
