Detroit Science Book Club Meeting- The Elegant Universe
-Even if you’re slightly curious about the nature of space, time, matter — or how science attempts to unify them, this is a discussion for you!
-Will the author convince you that unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics is necessary or even possible?
-Will string theory be presented as exciting, speculative, or overly optimistic?
-Is string theory closer to math, physics, or science fiction at this stage?
-Does bold speculation push science forward — or get in its way?
Please Join Detroit Science Book Club, LLC in a casual meetup to discuss the book The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory, by Brian Greene.

We are a group of science enthusiasts who meet regularly to discuss books from various fields of science.
Who: Everyone! All ages. Those with and without science backgrounds or experience.
When: We meet a few times a year. This allows time to checkout the book from a library and read leisurely without a rushed timeline to finish.
