Swansea University in South Wales has been given a £3m award to explore Einstein's unfinished unified field theory, the so-called "theory of everything".
The Science and Techonology Facilities Council (STFC) has granted the sum to the theoretical particle physics group at Swansea university to research and hopefully solve Einstein's final theory and unify the theory with modern quantum theory, which would be key to understanding the creation of the universe.
Professor Graham Shore, deputy head of the school of physical sciences and the groups principal investigator said "The award of the grant is a clear recognition of the important and exciting role that physics has to play in the wider world, and it will enable us to continue our research into the areas of physics that have the potential to impact greatly on the our understanding of the universe".
