    physics is relativity. Now Max, essentially invented Quantum Mechanics and I explained Relativity, well to be more specific, the Special Theory of Relativity. Max, "Both quantum theory and relativity are two of the most successful theories that we have ever had. The problem is that they don 't play well together. That 's right, two theories that are as close to reality as we have ever come to are not compatible with each other. It doesn 't make any sense, does it? When you try to apply relativity to the

    is about the history of science, history of how the universe began and how the journey of finding the theory for everything has been going. He talks about some of the theories that may help with finding the theory like the black hole theory, general relativity, quantum mechanics, imaginary time, string theory and many more. He also mentions the belief that people have that god created the universe, that God created everything. The book starts with Stephen Hawking talking about

    space, but rather a massive amount of matter packed into a small area. The graphic to the right shows the simulated view of a black hole in front of a Large Magellanic Cloud. The theory of these black holes was conceived in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It predicts that a plentiful compact mass will contort spacetime and create a black hole. The area where the nothing can escape is called the event horizon. It has no basic features, and it acts like a perfect black body, in the sense that

    about not just different lifestyles, but new ways of thinking. Modern physics grew out of classical physics and rest of three pillars: the quantum theory, which describes atoms and their nuclei, Special Relativity, which deals with the relationship between space and time and General Relativity, which explains gravity. The latter two were the sole creations of Albert Einstein and even the former received a crucial

    nobel prize. One thing that haunted Einstein was the fact that his own theory was flawed. He mad no mention of gravity, for the next ten years he would be consumed by creating a theory of gravity in relativity to the curvature of spacetime. In 1915 he finally developed the general theory of relativity which in Einstein’s eyes was his
