[Rohan Goswami · Rating 5 out of 5]

From my basic understanding of science, I'd say this book is an explanation of the ancient culture of the hypothetical twelve dimensions of the string theory, and their acknowledgement of their lack of understanding, yet still summoning glad tidings from all dimensions concerned, as best and as respectfully as they could. The words, in my opinion, aren't that important. And they weren't chanted, they were thought out, as in thinking a prayer.
