'A majestic story' David Bodanis Financial Times From the international bestselling author
of Physics of the Impossible and Physics of the Future This is the story of a quest: to find
a Theory of Everything. Einstein dedicated his life to seeking this elusive Holy Grail a
single revolutionary 'god equation' which would tie all the forces in the universe together
yet never found it. Some of the greatest minds in physics took up the search from Stephen
Hawking to Brian Greene. None have yet succeeded. In The God Equation renowned theoretical
physicist Michio Kaku takes the reader on a mind-bending ride through the twists and turns of
this epic journey: a mystery that has fascinated him for most of his life. He guides us through
the key debates in modern physics from Newton's law of gravity via relativity and quantum
mechanics to the latest developments in string theory. It is a tale of dazzling breakthroughs
and crushing dead ends illuminated by Kaku's clarity storytelling flair and infectious
enthusiasm. The object of the quest is now within sight: we are closer than ever to achieving
the most ambitious undertaking in the history of science. If successful the Theory of
Everything could simultaneously unlock the deepest mysteries of space and time and fulfil that
most ancient and basic of human desires - to understand the meaning of our lives.
