In many ways it's the ultimate question in natural science: How does our universe work? Is there a fundamental theory? An incredible amount has been figured out about physics over the past few hundred years. But even with everything that's been done - and it's very impressive - we still, after all this time, don't have a truly fundamental theory of physics.'

The Wolfram Physics Project is a bold effort to find the fundamental theory of physics. It combines new ideas with the latest research in physics, mathematics and computation in the push to achieve this ultimate goal of science. Written with Stephen Wolfram's characteristic expository flair, this book provides a unique opportunity to learn about a historic initiative in science right as it is happening.

A Project to Find the Fundamental Theory of Physics includes:

The announcement of the project;
A technical introduction;
A history section that outlines the backstory which led Wolfram to this point;
Background information from computational essays published by the author in 2015 and 2017;
Foundational information, including historical notes and an excerpt from Wolfram's;
2002 New York Times Best Seller A New Kind of Science;
Hundreds of beautiful full-colour visualisations.

Stephen Wolfram is a distinguished scientist and best-selling author, and the creator of some of the world's most respected software systems, including Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and Wolfram Language. For more than 30 years he has been the CEO of the global technology company Wolfram Research.

About the Author

Stephen Wolfram was born in London and educated at Eton, Oxford, and Caltech. He received his PhD in theoretical physics in 1979 at the age of 20, and in the early 1980s made a series of discoveries which launched the field of complex systems research. Starting in 1986 he created Mathematica, the primary software system now used for technical computing worldwide, and the tool which made A New Kind of Science possible. Wolfram is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research, Inc. - the world's leading technical software company. He is also the creator of the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine launched in 2009.
