505 0  The mystery of being -- The rule of law -- What is 
       reality? -- Alternative histories -- The theory of 
       everything -- Choosing our universe -- The apparent 
       miracle -- The grand design. 
520    Along with Caltech physicist Mlodinow (The Drunkard's 
       Walk), University of Cambridge cosmologist Hawking (A 
       Brief History of Time) deftly mixes cutting-edge physics 
       to answer three key questions-- Why is there something 
       rather than nothing? Why do we exist? Why this particular 
       set of laws and not some other?-- and explains that 
       scientists are approaching what is called "M-theory," a 
       collection of overlapping theories (including string 
       theory) that fill in many (but not all) the blank spots in
       quantum physics. This collection is known as the "Grand 
       Unified Field Theories."
