Nobel Laureate Says Physics Is in Need of a Revolution http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

In the early 1970s, David J. Gross exposed the hidden structure of the atomic nucleus. He helped to reinvent string theory in the 1980s. In 2004, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics. And today he struggles mightily to describe the basic forces of nature at the Planck scale (billions of times smaller than a proton), where, string theorists hope, the equations of gravity and quantum mechanics mesh. Simons Science News sat down with Gross for a Q&A about the nature of physics and reality.
