Unified Field Theory

unified field theory: In particle physics, an attempt to describe all fundamental forces and the relationships between elementary particles in terms of a single theoretical framework. In physics, forces...

In physics, a unified field theory (UFT) is a type of field theory that allows all that is usually thought of as fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single field.

Einstein's quest for a unified theory

The unified field theory is an attempt to tie all the fundamental forces of nature together in a single theory.

This month marks exactly 100 years since Albert Einstein submitted the first paper fully describing the general theory of relativity. It was both breathtaking and revolutionary.

Unified field theory is sometimes called the Theory of Everything (TOE, for short): the long-sought means of tying together all known phenomena to explain the nature and behavior of all matter and energy in existence.

He failed, of course, but he didn't exactly waste his time.

I watched some videos on the unified field theory, specifically interviews with Michio Kaku and John Hagelin, and want to learn a bit more about it. I looked up the theory of everything, string the...

We present the first English translation of Einstein's original papers related to the teleparallel ('absolute parallelism', 'distant parallelism' and the German 'Fernparallelismus' are synonyms) attempt of an unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism.

Einstein never achieved his dream of developing a unified theory of physics. Brian Greene explains why he failed. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for all th...

Einstein's contribution to relativity is reviewed. It is pointed out that Weyl gave first unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism and it was different than the five dimensional theory of Kaluza.

Einstein meets Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro in a courtyard to discuss his geometrical solution for the Unified Field Theory. He is inspired by playing his violin...

Albert Einstein is famous for his theories on relativity, but what of his other grand hypothesis, the unified field theory that consumed the last 30 years of his life without resolution? So will a unified theory of everything ever be realized?

Einstein explicitly used the term ‘unified field theory’ in the title of a publication for the first time in 1925

This 1923 paper is one of many Einstein wrote on unified field theory. In 1952 he noted that "the generalization of the theory of gravitation has occupied me unceasingly since 1916.

Collective designation for Einstein's unsuccessful attempts to formulate a theory in which gravity and other interactions, notably electromagnetism, are described in a unified manner - a theory in which gravity and electromagnetism would be no more than different facets of one and the same underlying structure, in the same manner in which magnetism and the electrostatic force are facets of a more general description of electromagnetism. After Einstein, quite a number of scientists have searched for a unified description of all interactions; the best-known modern incarnation of the idea of unification is string theory.

Given that we’ve had 60 years to build on what he accomplished, I’d say “not very”. If he’d been close, somebody else would have finished it by now. There wa...
