A Fórmula de Deus
A Fórmula de Deus, in English The God's Formula, is the fourth novel written by the Portuguese award-winning journalist and best-selling writer José Rodrigues dos Santos, published in 2006 in Portugal. The novel narrates a quest for the scientific proof of the existence of god by a Portuguese professor, Tomás Noronha, based on a formula developed by Einstein himself. The adventure takes place in Iran, Tibet and Portugal, with the involvement of the CIA. The book presents an innovative view about the origins of the universe, based on recent physics theories.
The main premise of the book, however, and especially its exposition in the final chapters, constitutes blatant plagiarism of the short story The Last Question, by acclaimed science fiction author Isaac Asimov. This fact appears to have been largely ignored or overlooked by readers and critics (especially those not previously familiar with Asimov's story).
