Božská rovnice - Hledání teorie všeho – Kaku Michio (2022)

The world-renowned astrophysicist invites us this time to search for the perfect equation that could help uncover the deepest secrets of our world and the entire universe. All the wonders of modern technology essentially owe their existence to scientists who gradually discovered the fundamental forces of the world. Now scientists may be on the verge of finding a way to unify these four natural forces – gravity, electromagnetic force, and weak and strong nuclear forces – into a single theory. This could finally shed light on the greatest mysteries of science: What happened before the Big Bang? And why did it happen at all? What lies on the other side of a black hole? Is time travel possible? Are there wormholes leading to other universes? Why are we here? Kaku describes the search for this final theory and all the strange twists of one of the most peculiar chapters in the history of physics. He reviews all the previous revolutions that have given us our technological wonders: the Newtonian revolution, the mastery of electromagnetic force, the theory of relativity, quantum theory, and finally today's string theory. And he explains why there are fierce disputes surrounding this 'Divine Equation': at stake is nothing less than our understanding of the universe. The author has a gift for engagingly and understandably explaining even complex scientific...
