The Quest to Explain All Reality

Course no. 1318 | 24 lectures (30 minutes/lecture)

Join the Quest to Explain

Everything There Is

At the end of his career, Albert Einstein was pursuing a dream far more

ambitious than the theory of relativity. He was trying to find an equation

that explained all physical reality—a theory of everything. He failed, but

others have taken up the challenge in a remarkable quest that is shedding

light on unsuspected secrets of the cosmos.

Experimental physicist and award-winning educator Dr. Don Lincoln of

the world-renowned Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory takes you on

this exciting journey in The Theory of Everything: The Quest to Explain

All Reality. Ranging across time and space, and at scales ranging from the

subatomic to the cosmic—and even into extra dimensions, with these 24

lectures you will bridge the eras between classical and modern physics and

get a glimpse of the goal that has motivated physicists for centuries. It’s a

dazzling trip!
