Brian
Greene
"String
Theory tries to answer a question that has a history going back to the
ancient
Greeks: what is the stuff of the universe made of?"
Physicist
and mathematician Brian Greene has made significant contributions to the field
of Superstring Theory. He is also the author of a popular science book, The
Elegant Universe, which undertakes to explain the significance of
String Theory, tracing the development of physics from Newton through Einstein
to Quantum Mechanics and the search for a Unifield Field Theory.
