La Ecuacin de Dios. La Bsqueda de Una Teora del Todo / The God Equation

Cuando Newton formul la ley de la gravedad, unific las reglas que rigen los cielos y la Tierra. Hoy el mayor desafo de la fsica es encontrar una sntesis de las dos grandes teoras, basadas en principios matemticos diferentes: la de la relatividad y la cuntica. Combinarlas sera el mayor logro de la ciencia, una profunda fusin de todas las fuerzas de la naturaleza en una hermosa y magnfica ecuacin que nos permitira comprender los misterios ms profundos del universo: qu sucedi antes del Big Bang? Qu hay al otro lado de un agujero negro? Existen otros universos y otras dimensiones? Es posible viajar en el tiempo?

Con ese objetivo, y con su conocida capacidad para divulgar conceptos complejos en un lenguaje accesible y atrayente, Michio Kaku repasa la historia de la fsica hasta llegar a los debates actuales en torno a la bsqueda de esa teora unificadora, la «ecuacin de Dios . Una historia cautivadora y contada de manera magistral, en la que lo que est en juego es nada menos que nuestra concepcin del universo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 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.
