The Theory of Everything...

Galileo

'[The universe] cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word.'
Opere Il Saggiatore p. 171.

I am finding that I am looking more into the science of physics rather than other artists to find spiritual answers relating to the mind of God and the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. I am not a scientist and approach this with humility hoping to understand strictly as a lay person. It is where my creative mind has led me.These are three books which I am beginning to advance my understanding of life and the science of why we are here....

The Essential Galileo
...'Galileo, was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of science", and "the Father of Modern Science". Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science."'

'Unified Filed study' Albert Einstein
-'In physics, a unified field theory (occasionally referred to as a "uniform" field theory is a type of field theory that allows all that is usually thought of as fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single field. There is no accepted unified field theory. It remains an open line of research. The term was coined by Einstein, who attempted to unify the general theory of relativity with electromagnetism, hoping to recover an approximation for quantum theory. A "theory of everything" is closely related to unified field theory, but differs by not requiring the basis of nature to be fields, and also attempts to explain all physical constants of nature.'

A Brief History in Time and the theory of everything...Stephen Hawking 'is an English theoretical physicist and cosmologist, whose scientific books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity.' His books examines Einstein's 'unified field'. He set out to prove the theory of everything with Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.
