À propos de cet audio
Number One New York Times Best Seller
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.

Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927.

In this grand poetic vision of the universe, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the discovery of the hidden world that underlies reality - and our place within it. Reality is not what you think or sense - it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive, and its inner workings seem at least as implausible as the idea that something can come from nothing. With his trademark wit and accessible style, Krauss leads us to realms so small that they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence.

What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what exactly is reality? Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions. He tells us how our understanding of reality has changed over the centuries and how physicists think about the structure of the Universe today.

Ce que les critiques en disent
A Smithsonian Best Science Book of the Year
“This is an excellent book written by a masterful science communicator.... If there is anyone who can demystify the esoteric mathematics and physics of string theory, it is [Kaku]. And in this wonderful little book, that is precisely what he does—explain in clear and simple terms the conceptual breakthroughs, the blind alleys and the unanswered questions—in the search for a grand unified theory of everything.... The God Equation dazzles.... Kaku, a consummate storyteller, provides an engaging, unvarnished account.... His book presents cutting-edge ideas in theoretical physics, and primes readers to be ready when the next major breakthrough occurs.” (The Wall Street Journal)
"[Kaku writes] about science in clean, concise language. . . . A clear and engaging story of a difficult scientific quest."—Smithsonian Magazine
Authoritative and accessible."—Nature

One equation, one theory for all of physics but what’s God got to do with it? What is this obsession with a god? Einstein said God does not play dice, Higg’s God particle and now Michio Kaku’s “The God Equation.” Good book though, It supports superstring theory. He uses no mathematics to explain the physics of string theory, which is a very mathematical concept and he does a great job at it. His explanations are clear and simple presenting the theory of everything.
Before he died Einstein was looking for a unified field theory. Michio Kaku thinks String theory is the answer as do many other physicists though he does mention that there is currently no testable evidence. He leaves it open and asks if string theory is an answer to everything or perhaps to nothing.
It’s an easy to read book which asks the ultimate question as he goes through the historical search for it and ties mathematical rules to it discussing relativity with a clear description of the light speed conundrum tying relativity to the beginnings of unification.
Beauty is symmetry.
He goes on through the rise of the quantum by bringing us through chemistry and the rise of the periodic table then moving on to the dual slit experiment but also tying quantum physics with our current technologies and even biology. The book goes on to tie field theory with particle theory (leaning towards string).
Mentioning the ad hoc way that the standard model was put together, notwithstanding that it is accurate for what it describes, but notes it doesn’t cover everything.
Pay attention to the discussion of the graviton and the problem of integrating it with the standard model, infinities occur. That and black holes and the conflict of theory of gravity and the quantum theory and the next great revolution, string theory.
Interesting, something new for me, https://www.ima.umn.edu/sites/default/files/691.pdf, Euler’s scattering equation for evolution of flow in an ideal fluid matches the scattering of two subatomic particles. The beginning of string theory. I did not know what was the seed of it.
Talks about how string field theory and how gravity can be married to particle theory’s standard model then goes on to explain Calabi yau space and its place in string theory.
Chapter 6 ‘Promise and Problems’ requires your undivided attention.
