Zusammenfassung:
In 'Search of a Theory of Everything' takes readers on an adventurous journey through space and time on a quest for a unified 'theory of everything' by means of a rare and agile interplay between the natural philosophies of influential ancient Greek thinkers and the laws of modern physics. By narrating a history and a philosophy of science, theoretical physicist Demetris Nicolaides logically connects great feats of critical mind and unbridled human imagination in their ambitious quest for the theory that will ultimately explain all the phenomena of nature via a single immutable overarching law.
