A very interesting book for Gadgetmaniacs like us. The explanion below is taken from the book’s website.
“Our current body of scientific knowledge, known as Standard Theory, is a patchwork of ideas handed down from a much simpler time. These ideas have survived, not because they give us a deep understanding of our world, but because they at least give us reasonable, functional models. But we have now moved beyond the point where mere models are enough — we want answers and understanding. The Final Theory now has these answers — for the first time in human history. It is the embodiment of a famous theory, known as the Theory Of Everything, sometimes referred to as the Unified Field Theory, which has been sought for centuries but has eluded all efforts until now. Finally we have true scientific explanations for everything, and not just simplistic working models.”

I’ve always been interested in the Unified Field Theory, even though I’ve gotta confess I don’t quite understand the concept!
Is the name misleading? Do people really think this will really be THE final theory?
i’ve heard it said that every answer in science generates many new questions. imagine how many questions the theory of everything could lead to.
And wasn’t the string theory supposed to be the Unified Field Theory? Has it been replaced?
