Description

At the end of his career, Albert Einstein was pursuing a dream far more ambitious than the theory of relativity. He was trying to find an equation that explained all physical reality - a theory of everything. He failed, but others have taken up the challenge in a remarkable quest that is shedding light on unsuspected secrets of the cosmos.

Experimental physicist and award-winning educator Dr. Don Lincoln of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory takes you on this exciting journey in The Theory of Everything: The Quest to Explain All Reality. Suitable for the intellectually curious at all levels and assuming no background beyond basic high-school math, these 24 half-hour lectures cover recent developments at the forefront of particle physics and cosmology, while delving into the history of the centuries-long search for this holy grail of science.

You trace the dream of a theory of everything through Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, Feynman, Gell-Mann, Weinberg, and other great physicists, charting their progress toward an all-embracing, unifying theory. Their resulting equations are the masterpieces of physics, which Dr. Lincoln explains in fascinating and accessible detail. Studying them is like touring a museum of great works of art - works that are progressing toward an ultimate, as-yet-unfinished masterpiece.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Needs to be re-recorded

This audiobook sounds like it's the audio lifted from a video - there are many references to "as you can see here" or "this chart shows" which is extremely impractical to try to find the PDF, open it, and find the relevant chart/graph/image.

Great course but highly recommend the prime video version

This so interesting and accessible to anyone interested. However, I also followed the same course on Amazon Prime on demand and I must say that seeing some of the example helps a lot to better understand. So, although the audio book is great I strongly recommend the video version to better understand.

Get the course at Great Courses Plus not this book

Don Lincoln continues to be an excellent presenter of complex topics to lay people such as myself but this book is merely the audio portion of the Great Courses. Imagine you are in a class room, any classroom, taking almost any course but you are seated facing the back of the class. You cannot see the chalkboard, video monitor or other material so when the instructor makes reference to a diagram, picture or object you have no idea what they are referring to. That is what listening to this book is like. There are many occasions when Dr Lincoln refers to a diagram or object and you cannot see it and thus it is harder to follow a topic that is already daunting to most of us. I would recommend just getting the course and skip this book.

Awesome Physics, Disclaimer about Diagrams

I've been reading pop physics and science for 20+ years, and this fits in with some of the best. it's a very up to date modern physics course that tackles our biggest and best understandings of the universe. The three main branches are the Standard Model of particle physics, Einstein's theories of Relativity, and Big Bang cosmology. There are multiple lectures on "what we don't know" / "what we think might be next" hypotheticals.

I am removing one star for a very specific reason. This was clearly a recording meant for a classroom or environment with a visual component, because Dr. Lincoln makes many references to diagrams or equations. in the audio format, the meaning here gets confused or entirely lost, for rather obvious reasons. this makes already somewhat challenging material even tougher. for this reason, I must subtract from the score if an audio review.

nevertheless, LOVE it!

digesting physics has never been easier

I've somewhat struggled to visualize/conceptualize Physics, and its overall goals and concepts but this lectures helped me take it, and at the very least have me a general idea on how everything goes...

The most complete book on the quest of science

This book is fascinating. Up to date as of the statue of the art and science of quantum gravity.
Highly recommended if you want to be at the edge of knowledge.

GUD

Tiny bits of info is visualy orianted as this lecture has probably a video behind it also. Overall its great.
Here is a civilian guess about the everything theory: The big bang is eternaly active. New matter keeps being blown out and expanded and the black holes connect to the big bang source as a white hole expelling everything back at the begining! So the universe accelerates expansion because it is new matter plus recycled matter through black holes creating an exponential increase. Heck this alone here is enough to write my own bible.

Prob even better as video as someone mentioned

Excellent. Though as another reviewer mentioned, it was probably meant as a video.. despite the PDF. I still loved it, I just think it would be even better in video format, Considering the appaent price of the videos, though, I still think this was awesome.

Could you show me that picture again, please?

This fails utterly as an audiobook.

It's full of equations, formulas, and illustrations, none of which I can see in this format.

The topic is fascinating, but the printed version (or the video version, if there was such a thing) would not have been much help to me. I wouldn't be able to follow the math.

I have the power #mastersoftheuniverse

since knowledge is power this is very empowering.

In 1925, Einstein went on a walk with a young student named Esther Salaman. As they wandered, he shared his core guiding intellectual principle: "I want to know how God created this world. I'm not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element
