About this audiobook

#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.

Ratings and reviews

The guy named Dan Fox that gave a review on this book is a complete moron and his comment was nothing more than attempt to place restraints upon theoretical physics in order to hinder the advancement of science as a whole. Closed minded people are a DISGRACE to science. People like Dan Fox and mainstream scientist's try to discredit others by creating false definitions and requirements. To theorize literally means to speculate. They don't like real theories, so they adjust what a "theory" is.

Since most people aren't allowed to learn the ancient algorithms written with language encryption. Humans will struggle with linear math and never converge multiple displaces like professional Chefs do. Example: croissant 128 folds, geometric, rolled out with specific shape/size/temp butter. Etc...our math and Computer Tech is nor based correctly
