The God Equation

The Quest for a Theory of Everything

De: Michio Kaku

Narrado por: Feodor Chin

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

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

Amazing!👏🏾

Very interesting food for the curious mind!
Thank you Dr Kaku and the entire production team of the audio book👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

My god

This is an amazing book! 👏 I recommended to my friends and family! Great Job.

Absolutely love everything written by Kaku.

I'm just a regular guy who listens to a lot of books on a wide range of topics. I can easily say Kaku is my favorite author and I would listen to him talk about anything he pleases. No college degree needed, all you need is a curious mind and he takes care of the rest.

Lovely

Amazing material for everyone. Love how Michio organized this masterpiece. Thank you dear Sir! Narrator is also exceptional…

Kaku doing what he does best - explain!

Michio Kaku has an uncanny ability to explain the complex into a manner that isn't just easier to understand, but that will continue to pique your interest. I always find myself wanting more!

physics in a nutshell

The author gives a brief history of physics through modernity. Fun and concise look at the field

Great for anyone, but excellent for educators (and students) of STEM

Great mix of science, math, technology, and philosophy. Very applicable to the modern day and the technological advancements that are anticipated with the 4th industrial revolution. I teach high school AP chemistry and after the test we study quantum mechanics from two perspectives: science and also philosophy. If my school budget can afford it- I’d love to buy a classroom set of this book for students (or maybe the author might hook us up with this stellar review! Signed of course).

Novice

This was an interesting book and good for an inquisitive mind, basic enough for a novice to grasp!

Excellent if you like theoretical physics and such

I always enjoy the way Michio Kaku presents the subject. I was very excited about this book, even better I could enjoy it while at work! Great reading of it.

Spiritual Mass

Understanding that the infinity of multiple dimensions of simultaneous universes will not fill the volume of one mind transparent to time gives respite to the wondering, wandering soul.
