#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • 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.

This book is all about the search for a theory of everything. I was not expeting to like this one to a 5 star rating based on previous books I have read by Michio Kaku, but this one was actually really really good
The history and evolution of physics and the search for the ultimate theory to explaine everything really was a good and entertaining read
I especially enjoyed learning about Edgar Allen Poe and his role in helping to answer some fundelmental questions of physics in his day despite not being a scientist but a amature astromer and author. You will have to read the book to find out what that is
Just a little too simpleminded to get the whole of what I read.
