"My ambition is to live to see all of physics reduced to a formula so elegant and simple that it will fit easily on the front of a T-shirt."

 

physicist Leon Lederman

 

Wow, thats a tall order...The theory of everything on a back of T-shirt.

 

 

what is the universe, how does it work....before there was even a universe, and nothing but physics held everything together, what were the laws of that primoridial physics.........oh man..I am out there tonight, baby, touching the face of God.

 

In the beginning there was physics...from Planck, to Einstein...to Aristotle...

from the String theory to photons bouncing off each other....

 

The Theory of Everything.....

 

weigh in...

Yea that was the primary aim of pretty much every scientist before they found out how complicated and endless the universe and understanding it was, hence this is why scientists specialised in fields of reasearch.....

Although it is stil the dream of every scientist to have a "unified theory of everything"

.........or perhaps call it "string theory"

kind of of-topic, but are there any new developments on the string theory? i heard that it may no longer be amongst the top priorities of most physicists due to it's lack of testability and funding.

 

is that true?

definetly not, where did you hear that? it has been toned down so to speak but there are still a few of them still probing to find the awnser...the hard problem with it now as i see it and hear it is the theoritical mathamatics invloved..ill try get a link

ill try get a link

 

please.

 

i watched a documentary on the tv(very recently), and they said it there.

can't recall the name of the show or more details as i was busy with my son for the most part.

There's a thread on it in the Physics section.
