New Theories of Everything

The so-called "theory of everything," which unlocks any mystery of the Universe, has long been the main subject of search for theoretical physicists studying the structure of the cosmos. But what might such a theory look like? Is it truly capable of describing and explaining everything? And if not, what are its limits? John Barrow introduces us to the latest concepts emerging in theoretical physics that could potentially form the components of a "theory of everything." We will see how many interesting theories the search for this theory generates, how many new questions it raises, and how all this helps us delve deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos and understand our own place within it.
