Many physicists spend their entire lives studying specific aspects of the physical world and therefore do not see the big picture. Einstein and Schrödinger strived for more. Their search led them to important discoveries: Einstein to the theory of relativity, and Schrödinger to the wave equation. Motivated by the discovery of part of the solution, they hoped to complete their life's work by creating a theory that explained everything. This book tells the story of two great physicists, the "newspaper" war of 1947 that destroyed their long-term friendship, and the fragile nature of collaboration and discovery in science. Paul Halpern - famous physicist and writer - wrote 14 popular science books. His interests include everything - time and space, multiple dimensions, dark matter and energy, cosmology. His latest book tells the story of how Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger struggled with the imperfections and indeterminism of quantum mechanics, trying to create a field theory that would unify all the forces of nature and oust quantum strangeness. Unfortunately, both failed. Will any of the modern scientists be able to surpass the geniuses of the past? Will there be a new Einstein who can make his dream of a unified physical theory come true?
