Leonard Susskind, a famous American physicist and one of the creators of string theory, at one time proposed a revolutionary concept of understanding the universe and the place of man in it. With his research, Susskind inspired a whole galaxy of modern physicists who believed that this theory could unequivocally predict the properties of our Universe. Now, in his first book for a wide range of readers, Susskind refines and rethinks his views, arguing that this idea is by no means universal and will have to give way to a much broader concept of a giant "space landscape". Research at the beginning of the XXI century allowed science to rise to a new stage in the knowledge of the world, says Susskind And this fascinating book, which carries the reader to the forefront of battles in modern physics, is a vivid confirmation of this.
