The God Equation. In Search of the Theory of Everything

"The God Equation" is a captivating tale about the search for the most important physical theory that can explain the birth of the Universe, its fate, and our place in it. The famous physicist and science popularizer Michio Kaku traces the entire path of remarkable discoveries from the Newtonian revolution and the foundations of electromagnetism laid down by Faraday and Maxwell to Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and modern string theory, leading to the great theory that could unify all physical interactions and provide a complete picture of the world. For more than half a century, physicists from different countries have been unable to achieve this grand goal. Have they chosen the right path? Is there a "light at the end of the tunnel"? This is the subject of Michio Kaku's new book.
