But what might such a theory look like? Could it truly describe everything? If not, where might the boundaries lie? And how can it co-exist with all that we have learnt about chaos and unpredictability? In New Theories of Everything, John D. Barrow examines the ideas and controversies surrounding the ultimate explanation, and what the necessary ingredients of the theory might be. Developing his classic earlier work Theories of Everything, he tells of the concepts and predictions emerging at the cutting edge of theoretical physics, from the search for a final string theory to the idea of a multiverse and dark energy, as we strive to understand the development of complexity in the universe. Where once we may have sought a single the¬ ory uniquely specifying the constants and forces ornature, the picture today is of a vast landscape of different logically possible laws and constants, of which our own three-dimen¬ sional world is but a shadow, a tiny facet of a higher dimensional reality. A Theory of Every¬ thing, he explains, would be necessary but by no means sufficient for a complete understand¬ ing of the Universe. But this is not solely a book about modern ideas in physics, for Barrow also considers and reflects on the philosophical and cultural consequences of a Theory of Everything, its implications for our own existence in the world, and its limits too - for it cannot encompass what lies beyond the mathematical laws, a world not only of physical constants, but of emotions and judgements, of music and art. Yet, Barrow argues, we should not give up in bewilderment: he shows how many rich and illuminating insights and questions arise from the pursuit of a Theory of Everything, and what these may mean for our understanding of the cosmos and our own place in it. John D. Barrow is Professor of Mathematical Sciences and Director of the Millennium Mathematics Project at Cambridge University, Gresham Professor of Astronomy and a Fellow of the Royal Society. His principal area of scientific research is cosmology, and he is the author of many highly acclaimed books about the nature and significance of modern developments in physics, astronomy, and mathematics, including The Left Hand of Creation; The Anthropic Cosmologkal Principle; The World Within the World; Pi in the Sky. Counting, Thinking, and Being; Impossi¬ bility: the limits of science and the science of limits; Between Inner Space and Outer Space; The Origin of the Universe; The Universe that Discovered Itself; The Book of Nothing; The Constants of Nature: from alpha to omega; The Infinite Book: a short guide to the boundless, timeless and endless; and The Artful Universe Expanded. He is also the author of the award- winning play Infinities.
