Discover the secrets of Universe
Theory of everything - The inversed equation
A love of numbers, devotion to chess 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 understand the universe better.
In his first book Theory of everything - The inversed equation the author offers an easy-to-grasp overview of how mathematics is embedded in nature and playfully connects science and arts. Just as in mathematics, there is no single, uniform truth in nature. A statement can be right and wrong at the same time—something that we rarely recognize in our lives. The book consists of 64 chapters that remind us time can shatter deep-rooted beliefs, fairytales can come to life, and the impossible can become possible. By assembling all our findings into a mosaic, we can create a theory of everything that shows us the path toward all the answers sought.
Perhaps Einstein would have written his equation differently had he read the Theory of Everything.
Book reviews
Darko Sifrer's first book, Theory of Everything - The inversed equation, impressed everyone who was lucky enough to take the time to read it. Even more so impressed each subsequent book in the series Theory of Everything, that tackled explanations of various problems, always based on mathematics, occasionally supplemented with chess facts and plenty of physics and philosophy. His books require time from the reader and are not intended for some holiday or superficial reading. Absolutely not - these books are intended for intellectuals, the elite that can grasp and understand what the author is talking about. And when they do, they remain speachless and genuinely impressed. I am not qualified to judge Sifrer's mathematical achievements. But I can say with certainty that he belongs to the best Slovenian chess players (Slovenia boasts enviable international success in chess) and also to the best Slovenian writers - among top intellectuals who enrich our society and science.
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 think about whether the glass is half full or half empty, the truth is that the glass is always full. Only sometimes it is filled with liquid and sometimes with air. There are a lot of such ingrained beliefs prevalent among people, and this book dispels some of them.

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 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 to sit on his bench, observing nature, sunset, and the bees flying around a cherry tree.
