God’s equation

Description

In a work that is immediately clear, invigorating and significant, famous mathematician Dr. Amir Aczel, widely praised creator of Fermat’s Last Theorem, brings us into the core of science’s most prominent riddle.

In January 1998, cosmologists discovered proof that the universe is growing at an ever-expanding rate. The manner in which we see the universe was changed until the end of time. The most convincing hypothesis cosmologists could discover to clarify this marvel was Einstein’s cosmological consistent, a hypothesis he considered – and dismissed – more than eighty years back.

Drawing on newfound letters of Einstein- – many interpreted here unexpectedly – long stretches of examination, and meetings with conspicuous mathematicians, cosmologists, physicists, and stargazers, Aczel takes us on a captivating excursion into “the bizarre calculation of room time,” and into the brain of a virtuoso. Here the inconceivable turns out to be genuine: an unbounded, ever-extending, ever-quickening universe whose lone supreme is the speed of light.

Amazing in scope, exciting in detail, God’s Equation is narrating at its best.
