The Elegant Universe
This week we began watching the documentary The Elegant Universe. It is an exploration of the "String Universe Theory", which is a new approach to theoretical physics. While I still don't understand the theory, it does have the potential to unite the two sects of practicing physicists; those who follow Einstein's school of Relativity and those who study Quantum physics, two theories which have previously been irreconcilable. More importantly, it will unify all the theories of the universe, a goal which Einstein stubbornly sought until the time of his death, when, in his old age, he saw drifting dreams of a seamless, harmonized universe from the edge of his deathbed. It now seems that he was not as crazy as some of his contemporaries believed. While his direction might have been flawed, his ultimate goal of smoothing the boundaries of the universe was right on the mark.
Question: Who developed the theory of Quantum physics.
