Sting Theory and the Universe
|

... Alternatively, a theory may be created first as the result of a hypothesis or physical principle, which receives experimental confirmation only at a later stage.
As our understanding evolves, seemingly disparate physical laws become unified in a single overarching theory. The tendency of apples to fall to the ground and the tendency of the Moon to orbit the Earth were thought to be different things before the emergence of Isaac Newtons laws of motion and his theory of gravity. This theory was thought to be complete until the work of Albert Einstein, who showed that it was lacking in many aspects. A more complete (and much more mathematically intricate) theory of general relativity took the place of Newtons theory in 1915. In modern times, physicists are trying to unify general relativity with the rest of the theory of fundamental interactions into a theory of everything, a single mathematical formula from which all of physics can be derived (see also grand unified theory, string theory, supersymmetry).
