Why read it?
2 authors picked The God Equation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it's written by a modern scientist looking to understand something outside science. Dr. Kaku is a pioneer in quantum physics. His career-long focus has been string theory. (We are all connected by "strings" of energy.) When he and his colleagues started out, this kind of physics was ridiculed.
Now, we're building impossibly amazing computers based on quantum. So, Dr. Kaku is a pioneer in the quantum world, and now he's looking there to be able to describe God in an inch of mathematical formula. So exciting! And written in a down-to-earth style even I couldā¦
From Jeannie's list on unseen forces shape our lives dreams and choices.
In the book Reality is Not What It Seems, Carlo Rovelli exhorts us to āStop dreaming of new fields and strange particles; supplementary dimensions, other symmetries, parallel universes, strings, and whatever else.ā Oh, but I wanted to dream, and Michio Kaku always takes me on such a fun ride! I loved Kakuās The Future of the Mind, which inspired me as I wrote my own science fiction novel. So I turned to him again when I wanted to learn more about string theory, the competing theory to Rovelliās loop quantum gravity and Kakuās own area ofā¦
