**#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The epic story of the greatest
quest in all of science--the holy grail of physics that would explain
the creation of the universe--from renowned theoretical physicist and
author of The Future of the Mind and The Future of Humanity.
**
When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules
governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists have been
placing new forces into ever-grander theories.
But perhaps the ultimate challenge is achieving a monumental synthesis
of the two remaining theories--relativity and the quantum theory. 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.
Written with Kaku's trademark enthusiasm and clarity, this epic and
engaging journey is the story of The God Equation.
