Sycophant: "Welcome to the webpage of a Brian Greene's bestseller "The
Elegant Universe"....String theory, as it is often called, is the key
to the unified FIELD theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty
years......String theory, as the author vividly describes, reveals a
vision of the universe that is sending shock waves through the world
of physics. Thrilling and revolutionary ideas such as new dimensions
hidden within the fabric of space, black holes transmuting into
elementary particles, rips and punctures in the SPACE-TIME
CONTINUUM...."

Brian Greene: "So the question I have is, we, many of us, are working
on Einstein's legacy in a sense, which is trying to find the unified
theory that he looked for such a long time and never found, and we've
been pursuing an approach called super string theory for many years
now. And it is a completely theoretical undertaking. It is completely
mathematical. It has yet to make contact with experimental data. I
would like to ask Einstein what he would think of this approach to
unification. Does he see the same kind of beauty, the same kind of
elegance, the same kind of powerful incisive ideas in this framework
to give him the confidence that he had in the general theory of
relativity?"

Albert Einstein (1954): "I consider it entirely possible that physics
cannot be based upon the field concept, that is on continuous
structures. Then nothing will remain of my whole castle in the air,
including the theory of gravitation, but also nothing of the rest of
contemporary physics."
