The Holy Grail of modern scientists is the "Theory of Everything," which will contain all that can be known about the Universe -- the magic formula that Einstein spent his life searching for and failed to find. In this elegant and exciting book, John Barrow challenges the quest for ultimate explanation.

From the Back Cover:

"A treasure of learning and insight...A fine analysis of the evolution of mathematical thought; indeed, the implicit role that mathematics has played in cosmology is a recurrent, finely drawn theme that adds considerably to the book's scholarly luster....Marvelous." The Kirkus Reviews

"An encyclopedia of current concerns in the philosophy of science, a clean cut through a thick birthday cake of ideas, the sort of book that an archeologist in the distant future would be delighted to have unearthed...An educational wonder." Times Literary Supplement

"[An] intellectual adventure...Encompasses the nature of time and current wrangling among physicists and mathematicians over whether the universe resembles a vast computer program, a kaleidoscopic pattern or neither."

Publishers Weekly

"Offers intelligent and informed insights into many aspects of science's efforts to understand everything."

Dallas Morning News

"Its scope is, appropriately, vast." Nature
