The God equation : the quest for a theory of everything The story is 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. He crafts an accessible guide to the key debates in modern physics from Newtons 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 Kakus 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
