Basically it was about what would he be theorising today? Considering his theory about the universe and what not what we got to discussing what would would he be theorising about if he was still alive today if he was still alive. We eventually agreed on something along the lines of "mind boggling". Thoughts? Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. ID: 1315421 ·

This is the problem that he was working on at the end of his life, and the solution has so far eluded all the scientists that have attempted it. BOINC WIKI ID: 1315431 ·

Or blackholes. But then again he was working on a unfied theory. I wonder how the Higgs Boson would have helped? [/quote] Old James ID: 1315433 ·

Notice that "not even you". I don't think he would appreciate the "Standard model" of elementary particles. His idea of physics was modeled along the theology of Spinoza. Tullio ID: 1315658 ·

He certainly earned a rest as it is!! Janice ID: 1315687 ·
