Kaku, Michio

Michio Kaku is the author of several science books, including Beyond Einstein, The Future of Humanity, The Future of the Mind, Hyperspace, Physics of the Future, and Physics of the Impossible. A co-founder of string field theory, Kaku is also the science correspondent for CBS This Morning, the host of the radio programs Science Fantastic and Exploration, and a host of several science-focused TV specials for the BBC and the Discovery and Science channels. The God Equation: The Quest for the Theory of Everything (Anchor) explores the quest for the holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universe. Since Newton discovered the law of gravity, physicists have been placing new forces into ever-grander theories. But perhaps the ultimate challenge is synthesizing the two remaining theories – relativity and quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a magnificent equation to unlock its deepest mysteries: 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? And what’s at stake is nothing less than our conception of the universe.
