Please hint me the order in time to read those String Theory books:Zwiebach,Polchinski,Hatfield,Kaku,Green-Schwarz-Witten,West,Johnson(D-Branes),David Tong(lecture on String Theory dampt).
A reasonable order would be: Tong, Zwiebach, Hatfield, GSW, Polchinski, Kaku, West, Johnsonfxdung said:Please hint me the order in time to read those String Theory books:Zwiebach,Polchinski,Hatfield,Kaku,Green-Schwarz-Witten,West,Johnson(D-Branes),David Tong(lecture on String Theory dampt).
String theory is a theoretical framework in physics that attempts to explain the fundamental nature of particles and their interactions. It proposes that the particles in the universe are not point-like entities, but rather tiny vibrating strings.
Some of the most popular and influential books on string theory include "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene, "The Hidden Reality" by Leonard Susskind, and "The Cosmic Landscape" by Leonard Susskind and Raphael Bousso.
There is no specific order in which you should read these books. However, it is recommended to start with "The Elegant Universe" as it provides a good introduction to the concepts of string theory. From there, you can move on to more advanced books.
To fully understand string theory, it is helpful to have a background in advanced mathematics and physics. However, many introductory books on string theory are written in a way that is accessible to readers without a strong scientific background.
Reading books on string theory can give you a good understanding of the concepts and ideas behind it, but it is important to note that string theory is a complex and constantly evolving field. It is recommended to also supplement your reading with lectures, online courses, and discussions with experts in the field.
