Clerks Quote by Albert Einstein

“By the time I began my study of physics in the early 1970s, the idea of unifying gravity with the other forces was as…

— Lee Smolin

We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.

— Kip Thorne

Experimentally, we now have demonstrated that Einstein's theory is right in strong gravitational fields. That's important to a lot of people.

— Rainer Weiss

“Now, at the outset of the twenty-first century, we stand on the verge of a new revolution. The search for a deeper theory than…

— Marcus Chown

“In 1914, a Finnish physicist named Gunnar Nordstrom found that all you had to do to unify gravity with electromagnetism was increase the dimensions…

— Lee Smolin

What was done is measure directly, with exquisitely sensitive instruments, gravitational waves predicted about 100 years ago by Albert Einstein. These waves are a…

— Rainer Weiss

“A modern example of this stunning knowledge of nature that Einstein has gifted us, comes from 2016, when gravitational waves were discovered by a…

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

“Impressed by the success of high-level mathematics in the formulation of the general theory of relativity in 1915, we find that Einstein's life-long quest…

— John D. Barrow

The field equations and the whole history of general relativity have been complicated.

— Rainer Weiss

Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the…

— Richard P. Feynman

“But it remains a fundamental challenge to understand the very beginning-this must await a 'final' theory, perhaps some variant of superstrings. Such a theory…

— Martin Rees

This is the first real evidence that we've seen now of high gravitational field strengths: monstrous things like stars moving at the velocity of…
