Format:Taschenbuch
The first few chapters of this book are done pretty well. Complex concepts are handled easily and explained in an easy to understand manner. However, the book becomes quite annoying and even offensive towards the end.
Here are Rucker's main beliefs: (1) Science can and has explained everything, and (2) Science is right. He breaks the cardinal rule of science, that you can never be absolutely sure of anything.
Rucker's beliefs are obvious when reading through his self-satisfied descriptions of theoretical notions such as time travel and traveling faster than light. Rucker is annoyed by people who think it's possible to go faster than light. Now, I'm annoyed by people who I think are uninformed but still have strong opinions, but Rucker goes too far. He writes some sample dialogue for someone who thinks the light barrier can be broken, and it goes something like: "Who says we can't do it? We can do anything we want! Wasn't Einstein a German or a Jew? He was probably anti-progress and anti-American!" I didn't make that up. Apparently you're an anti-Semite if you think hyperlight speed is possible.
Then there's the section on synchronicity, the concept that coincidences are really some advanced cosmic principle that we can't, and perhaps can never, understand. Rucker tries a bit too hard to explain it when there really isn't any way to explain it. He then says that about everything science can't officially explain is actually synchronicity. Telepathy? You can't really read someone else's mind, you just happen to think what they're thinking right when you want to. Psychokinesis? You can't really move objects with your mind, it's just that they happen to move when you want them to. This is all told in an unbearably smug manner.
This should have been a good book, but it left me with only bad memories.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a nice well-written book about what a 4D Universe would be like, and delves a bit into Einsteinian spacetime. The problem with this book is that Rucker wrote another book "Geometry, Relativity, and the 4TH dimension" which has tons more information in it and is at least 1/10th the size of this book. So, in a way, this is just a wordy repeat of his older book.
Format:Taschenbuch
Though we must accept that all of this is as speculative as ghosts and goblins, the subject matter is handled with the perfect meshing of tongue-in-cheek discussion and serious discourse about the higher dimensions. Rucker makes the reader think twice about what could be out there, both higher and lower than us; in this sense, the book is about humanity. Complete with funny illustrations, this is a perfect choice for finding out about scifi/scireality concepts of spacial dimensions. (A little tough to follow in the time travel section, but give it a try.)

Excellent layman's coverage of 4 dimensional space
This book was a fun read, and I was surprised how well Rucker (whom I had considered a fiction author primarily) was able to convey the ideas in this book in a very understandable... Lesen Sie weiter...
