The Theory of Everything

"The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe" is an unauthorized 2002 book by Stephen Hawking (ISBN 1-893224-79-1). It was assembled from seven lectures on audiotape by Hawking originally released in 1994 under the title, "Stephen W. Hawking's Life Works: The Cambridge Lectures" (ISBN 1-55800-986-8). The book's title is in reference to the theory of everything, a physicists' jargon term for a theory in physics which unifies the four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, the strong force, the weak force, and the electromagnetic force.

Several years ago Stephen Hawking said that there was a fifty-fifty chance that an actual unification of the four fundamental forces – a Theory of Everything – would be achieved. Recently, however, he has become more pessimistic on this score.

Professor Hawking makes it clear that he "has not" endorsed this book. The text was written by him many years ago, however the material has already been published in books such as" 'A Brief History of Time'. "A complaint was made to the Federal Trade Commission of the United States in the hope that the FTC would prevent the publication. [ [http://www.hawking.org.uk/info/iindex.html Stephen Hawking] ]
