Many leading scientists believe the theory will unlock the deepest secrets of creation and answer some of the most intriguing questions of allĪbout the Author MICHIO KAKU is a professor of physics at the City University of New York, cofounder of string field theory, and the author of several widely acclaimed science books, including Hyperspace, Beyond Einstein, Physics of the Impossible, and Physics of the Future. Already, the theory has inspired several thousand research papers, and has been the focus of over 200 international conferences. If so, it would be the crowning achievement of 2,000 years of scientific investigation into matter and itsforces.

This may thus be our leading candidate for the Theory of Everything. But if we see these forces as vibrations in a higher dimensional space, their field equations suddenly fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, perfectly snug, in an elegant, astonishingly simple form. Why all the excitement? As the author points out, for over half a century, scientists have puzzled over why the basic forces of the cosmos - gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces - require markedly different mathematical descriptions. Beginning where Hawking's Brief History of Time left off, Kaku paints a vivid portrayal of the breakthroughs now rocking the physics establishment. The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space) - and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory - stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world, including several Nobel laureates. In Hyperspace, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed Beyond Einstein and a leading theoretical physicist, offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics, work which includes research on the tenth dimension, time warps, black holes, and multiple universes. Today, they are the focus of the most intense scientific activity in recent memory.

This set also includes a small display stand that is meant for the starfighter to balance on while attached to the hyperspace ring.About the Book Kaku, a physicist, paints a vivid portrait of the groundbreaking theory of hyperspace and its newest wrinkle-superstring theory.īook Synopsis Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes? All of us have pondered such questions, but there was a time when scientists dismissed these notions as outlandish speculations.

The Hyperspace Ring is over 9' in diameter and is an all-new sculpt.

Obi-wan's Jedi Starfighter is a repaint of 2002's SAGA Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter.

Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a hyperspace ring while tracking Jango Fett to the remote planet of Geonosis, a mission that marked the start of the Clone Wars. The Jedi can keep the mobility and still conduct far-reaching missions. The ring has twin reactors and ion drives, to transport it and the fighter through hyperspace. Jedi starfighters are too small to have hyperdrive engines, so they use hyperspace rings to travel at hyperspeed.

It's a FlexiDisplay stand, and you can find out more about it here. Note: The display stand shown in the photos is not included with the vehicle.
