The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory ...

The God Equation is a fascinating account of the search for the most important physical theory capable of explaining the birth of the universe, its destiny, and our place in it. Renowned physicist and popularizer of science Michio Kaku traces the entire path of amazing discoveries-from the Newtonian revolution and the foundations of electromagnetism laid by Faraday and Maxwell, to Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics and modern string theory-leading to that great theory that could unite all physical interactions and provide a complete picture of the world. For more than half a century, physicists from different countries have not been able to achieve this grand goal. Have they chosen the right path? Is there a 'light at the end of the tunnel'? This is what Michio Kaku is thinking about.
