#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, 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.

Extremely Interesting Even For Non-Science Folk

I am not a science person whatsoever but when I came across this book I thought ‘why not?’. I am so glad I went out on that limb. The content is very much science-based but presented in a way that is accessible to all audiences. It was especially interesting to me how the author brought in other areas of study that can be viewed through the scope of physics. It made me think in a frighteningly new way that’s unfathomable and exciting.

Fascinating and informative

Kaku presents a very interesting, informative overview of the history of physics discoveries beginning with Newton up through Einstein and beyond, then lays the groundwork for a potential "theory of everything" through String Theory. The book is scientifically deep, yet clear and understandable even for individuals with little formal physics training. While some science books can be dry and filled with jargon, Kaku is able to present his ideas in an eloquent, engaging manner that at times is even philosophical in nature, effectively showing why these discoveries are important for humanity.
