Hyperspace and wormholes:
"Hyperspace : A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension (Paperback) " by Michio Kaku

[Factoid] The author - today a leading Scientist - made a Cyclotron at home as part of his Award Winning National School Science Project in the USA.
His parents helped him wind miles of copper wire after school to create the Electric Magnets which would accelerate the subatomic particles to near light speeds before 'smashing the atom'.

Did you ever wonder what the Universe is made of? Or what is light made of? Can people travel across galactic distances in a blink of the eye?

Do you get bored with books which try to tell too much detail without giving the essence of the thing? So do I. That's why I liked this book so much...

What I liked about this book is the Analogies which jump out at you and stick in your brain long after the details are blurry.

Excerpts :
What is Hyperspace?
Imagine A 2 dimensional being living on a piece of paper.
He can be jailed by drawing a circle round him.
Enter yourself!! A 3D being with amazing supernatural powers. You go to the paper, peel off the poor sob from inside his jail and repaste him outside... Free at last...

Now just imagine a 5D being doing that in our universe. Would you call such a being GOD!! Maybe.. Depending on whether you're the prisoner or the jailer!!
-----
Five Dimensions.... What use is that if I can't even imagine it?
Unsurmountable Problems at dimension become a piece-of-cake at another dimension....
Imagine a valley green and surrounded by mountains.
A pitched battle is raging here. The clamour, fear is fairly boiling as man fights man fiercly and struggles to remain standing. He's unaware of all but what surrounds him.
Now imagine zooming to the top of a mountain where a General sits atop a tall horse looking at the whole panoramic view of the battle raging below him.
As he calmly surveys the scene, he's able to distinguish patterns below him. He observes places where the battle is going for and against his side. He can easily direct the battle from this eagles-nest. THAT's what is known as perspective... he's just climed the mountain turning a 2D battle into a 3D chess-game.
