The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything Paperback – March 29, 2022

This was a excellent book. I find the title to be somewhat misleading, but it does fit. The book goes through the history of physics and all of the mathematical discoveries that have lead to string theory and how they all fit together. It is very fascinating to learn the history of all of physics and how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together by some of the greatest physicists. The author also talks about how it cannot be proven and is not definitive, but mathematically it is the best solution we currently have. Very good book.

I thank you Mr. Kaku for sharing your knowledge and special insight into the world of physics. Not a math major myself so the information was shared in a wonderful way that I could understand and now I will look at some of those equations to increase my mathematical understanding. Sincere best wishes and hopefully many more books to come.

Michio Kaku is a renowned theoretical physicist and an excellent popularizer of science and especially physics. I love reading his books including this one. If you have read his other books you will not find much new in this book. On the other hand, it is an easy to read summary of physics, the history of physics, quantum physics and eventually string theory. The focus is on the search for the theory of everything or as some call it “the God Equation”.I found chapter 6 (there are 7 chapters) “Rise of String Theory Promise and Problems” to be very enlightening and honest. He explains string theory very well in layman’s terms and gives us the truth about the hype and the disappointments but also hope regarding where string theory and M-theory might take us. He gives us his view of the promises of string theory and he explains why we should not write it off just because it is difficult to experimentally verify. He convinced me, but it may take time before we will know whether string theory is the path forward.His explanations are lucid, modest and it was a fun read. However, personally I was expecting something a little bit “deeper”, and I don’t think it is his best book, so not five stars from me, but I still enjoyed it.

This is my absolute favorite book! Not only does world renowned physicist Michio Kaku mention what the purpose of the God Equation is but also how we can get there and what human kind has already done. This book gives me hope that we will find the solution at some point. This is also fairly easy to read if you don’t understand the topic that well. Totally recommend!

Very understandable

I studies about how peoples get to god, and even with the mystical Kabbalah there is a system with holy number that are really God names. I'm an artist and usually don't visualize anything. But I learned to visualize under a lot of concentration, so that I could look at four blocks at the same time. You know kind of like placing my mind set on both side at a point where I saw most of the cub. I like how one friend said that once you get to the furthest understanding of God and you are really talking to God remember that that is only the first step of talking to the highest power. and that there are maybe ten more sets of Sephirothic trees on with in another or over over the other. In other words if we find the tree of life with theI'm hoping that once he find the God equation he find away to get to the half dimensions, You know where a person works their magi kind of to see, And I hope that making that equations misplay is figuring out where the portions of the sub quotations sits. So maybe he will make the equations simple each major equations is then given a letter or a symbol. In the equations that is simple where the components sets might be happenstance, like thoroughgoing every known equations into a paper bad and then once you draw out the equations you write the quintessence of that equations into the one larger simple equations. I wonder where the balance or chi, would be in a simple equations, only where the two side balance, half of the equation answer each other leaving a lot of space for all the side equations. If makes a flow chart, that looks like the tree of life, maybe he should look at the whole tree of like like houses on a street. That way the author will not fall. And that way the God with in a God might be brought out of ideas to play with the equations him self. I like the way he enplanes his fields.

An excellent introduction to quantum theory.
