The universe in a nutshell : The Quest for Cosmic Code.

Описание:    • The Universe in a Nutshell - Michio Kaku |...  

Consists of excerpts from a presentation by Professor Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist specializing in string theory, uploaded to the Big Think YouTube channel. Kaku begins by asserting that physics is the foundation of modern technology, citing the invention of the laser, transistor, and the internet. He recounts his childhood inspiration, spurred by Albert Einstein's unfinished Unified Field Theory, and his fascination with science fiction and its reliance on physics. Kaku then traces the history of physics through the discovery of the four fundamental forces: gravity, unveiled by Isaac Newton, which ushered in the Industrial Revolution; the electromagnetic force, explained by Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell, which led to the electric age and modern communication; and the two nuclear forces, which govern the sun and created the nuclear age. Finally, he discusses the search for a "theory of everything", highlighting the limitations of the Standard Model, the promise of string theory, and the remaining mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
