Astrophysicist
John Gribbin presents his own version of the ‘Holy Grail’ of physics,
bringing quantum theory and the general theory of relativity together in
one mathematical package offering the answer to life and the universe.

The
20th century gave us two great theories of physics. The general theory
of relativity describes the behaviour of very large things, quantum
theory the behaviour of very small things. But how can these theories be
combined into a ‘theory of everything'?
John Gribbin is a
Visiting Fellow in Astronomy at the University of Sussex, where he has
worked on the problem of determining the age of the Universe.
He
now spends his time writing and, after working for the journal Nature
and New Scientist, he has produced many books including 'In Search of
Schrödinger's Cat', 'In Search of the Double Helix' and 'In Search of
the Big Bang'.
