What if nature whispered the secrets of the universe through numbers, riddles, and dreams? Discover a bold and playful journey beyond the known in the Theory of Everything book series.
In this first volume, the author turns Einstein’s iconic equation on its head—literally. By inverting E = mc² to c² = E/m, he uncovers new and astonishing insights that bridge science, mathematics, and imagination, redefines the light and its speed, and challenges everything we were once taught in school.
Explore 64 thought-provoking chapters, each revealing how the impossible might just be possible, and challenge long-held beliefs to see how truth can be both right and wrong at the same time. Discover the beauty of mathematics—hidden in nature, chessboards, symmetries, paradoxes, and galaxies.
This is not just a book of ideas—it’s a mosaic of revelations. By connecting each piece, Sifrer builds a visionary path toward a deeper understanding of the universe around us and the nature within us.
If Einstein had read this book, he might have rewritten his equation.
Darko Sifrer’s debut, Beyond Einstein’s Equation, leaves a powerful impression on anyone fortunate enough to engage with it. And with each subsequent volume in the Theory of Everything series, that impact only deepens. Tackling some of the most complex questions in science and philosophy, Sifrer offers fresh perspectives grounded in mathematics, enriched with insights from chess, physics, and deep philosophical inquiry. These books are not casual reads—they are meant for curious minds eager to challenge conventional thinking and seeking more than surface-level answers. For those who take the time, willing to engage with their depth, the result is often a stunned silence, followed by genuine admiration. I can say with confidence that Sifrer ranks among Slovenia’s most brilliant intellectuals, chess masters and writers.
I read the book in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mathematics, although I've never been a fan of it, let alone played with it, it's just right for my taste, and above all, it's presented from a point of view that interests me a lot. I restored it a little more. I knew that, together with physics, it could lead a person to philosophy, but not that it could flirt with intuition and spirituality. This is really a very heartfelt book, only at first impression its title, which I think is a bit of an oxymoron, is a bit misleading. Probably on purpose. Sincere congratulations to the author. He imparted and challenged a lot of wisdom in it.
While most people contemplate whether the glass is half full or half empty, the glass is in fact always full. Sometimes it is filled with liquid; other times, with air. People tend to hold on to their many deep-seated beliefs, and this book challenges some of them.
A love of numbers and a sparkle of curiosity led the author, Darko Sifrer, to the idea of reversing and expanding Einstein's equation - an elegant, yet revolutionary step that lead us to surprising insights about the universe.
Darko Sifrer (b. 1956) graduated from mathematics at University of Ljubljana and became a recognized international chess master in 1991. During his professional career, he provided expert mathematician and financial advice to many Slovenian and former Yugoslavian companies and worked as a court expert. His childhood desire to understand the mysteries of the universe eventually led him to study physics and quantum mechanics, connecting the missing pieces of the puzzle of the universe together. He loves playing boardgames and inventing new ones, as much as he enjoys sitting on his bench, observing nature, the sunset, and the bees flying around a cherry tree.
