Product Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The epic story of the greatest quest in all of sciencethe holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universefrom 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 theoriesrelativity 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; whats at stake is nothing less than our conception of the universe.

Written with Kakus trademark enthusiasm and clarity, this epic and engaging journey is the story of The God Equation.

Review

A SMITHSONIAN BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR

Praise for Michio Kaku's The God Equation:

This is an excellent book written by a masterful science communicator. . . . If there is anyone who can demystify the esoteric mathematics and physics of string theory, it is [Kaku]. And in this wonderful little book, that is precisely what he doesexplain in clear and simple terms the conceptual breakthroughs, the blind alleys and the unanswered questionsin the search for a grand unified theory of everything. . . . The God Equation dazzles. . . . Kaku, a consummate storyteller, provides an engaging, unvarnished account. . . . His book presents cutting-edge ideas in theoretical physics, and primes readers to be ready when the next major breakthrough occurs. The Wall Street Journal

"[Kaku writes] about science in clean, concise language. . . . A clear and engaging story of a difficult scientific quest." Smithsonian Magazine

"Authoritative and accessible." Nature

Kaku eloquently reviews the structure of our universe, highlighting contributions from intellectual giants and those continuing the daunting, decades-long quest for the elusive theory of everything. . . . Examining this tantalizing theory, Kaku outlines its promises, problems, and the breathtaking, almost inconceivable array of possibilities it presents. Kaku's latest captures the awesome and mysterious beauty of the universe, of our planet, and of ourselves, and will intrigue anyone who ponders existence. Booklist

Riveting. . . . Kakus expertise at making mind-bending concepts comprehensible makes this a real intellectual eye-opener. Publisher's Weekly

An expert account of the search for 'the holy grail of physics.' . . . Illuminating. . . . An important work. Kirkus Reviews

INTRODUCTION TO THE FINAL THEORY

It was to be the final theory, a single framework that would unite all the forces of the cosmos and choreograph everything from the motion of the expanding universe to the most minute dance of subatomic particles. The challenge was to write an equation whose
