Summary: The God Equation by Michio Kaku: The Quest for a Theory of Everything
About this eBook
Michio Kaku, renowned theoretical physicist and #1 New York Times bestselling author, shares the inside story of the greatest quest in all of science.
When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists cast newly discovered forces into even grander theories. The ultimate challenge arises as a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theories—quantum theory and relativity. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science: What happened before the Big Bang? What lies on the other side of a black hole? Are there other universes and dimensions? Is time travel possible? Why are we here? Kaku also explains the intense controversy swirling around this theory, with Nobel laureates taking opposite sides on this vital question. It is a captivating, gripping story; what’s at stake is nothing less than our conception of the universe.
