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 . Review: Very Good Easy to Follow Book on a Complex Subject - This was a excellent book. I find the title to be somewhat misleading, but it does fit. The book goes through the history of physics and all of the mathematical discoveries that have lead to string theory and how they all fit together. It is very fascinating to learn the history of all of physics and how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together by some of the greatest physicists. The author also talks about how it cannot be proven and is not definitive, but mathematically it is the best solution we currently have. Very good book. Review: Reality - I have read a number of books on physics and Michio Kaku should win a Nobel for his communication skills. That being said, since Einstein theories, physics has turned into a game where scientists have turned into gossips. A gossip is a person who takes an idea or hypothesis without a provable truth and treats the hypothesis as truth. The they build out a complete theory based on this very shaky foundation and find some semi truths that can actually do work but will never find the complete truth because the foundation is built on sand. Physics will drift from here because students accept these semi truths and try to build even further. The old generation who controls physics will have to dye off and everything they have built will have to be torn down leaving only the provable facts and then start over again. Even today physicists speak of gravity as a pulling force of matter to matter. They even think they see virtual particles from a man made vacuum ignoring the idea that their vacuum is filled with dark matter, neutrinos and space localities that are gravity itself. I've read many books on physics and Michio's book is the first to even mention that gravity is not mass pulling on mass. This book is the best book on the current state of physics notwithstanding my objections to quantum physics huge problems. I'm just sad that I'm too old to see what will become of the new theories once the old has been torn down and a new perspective is taken inclusive of the few provable facts left behind. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #81,320 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Relativity Physics (Books) #54 in Quantum Theory (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,408 Reviews | ## Images ![The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fw5QreZ+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Easy to Follow Book on a Complex Subject *by Z***P on February 10, 2024* This was a excellent book.
