"That way, as you use the software, you're doing the task on one device, then you're doing the task on another device, and you're using multiple applications to solve whatever problem you have, that it doesn't feel like you're jumping around from one universe of physics to another universe of physics – that everything feels consistent in terms of how you interact with it".
Matt Taylor's dad told him physics was the "science of everything".
Any hint of breakage of relativity, scientists say, could yield a clue to finding the holy grail of contemporary physics -- a "theory of everything" that would marry Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes how gravity shapes the universe, to quantum mechanics, the strange rules that govern energy and matter on subatomic scales.
"To me, physics is the study of everything, from the smallest particles known to man to the edge of the universe," she gushes.
THE GAME CHANGER of QUANTUM PHYSICS: Unified Theory, Connection of Everything, an observer's influence on reality, illusion of matter, dark matter, infinite potential... for a start.
Health has nothing in common with the laws of physics and everything in common with lottery cards, mutual funds and tomorrow's weather forecast.
But that does not stop people continuing to worry that esoteric phenomena at the edge of physics might spell The End Of Everything in a satisfyingly B-movieish cataclysm.
The man with the eccentric accent, the tantalizing hints of family fortune and the impressive conversational knowledge of everything from physics to art to the stock market is actually Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, who grew up in Germany, came to the United States as a teenage exchange student and never left, not even contacting his family back home for the last 20 years.
In the course of the short film, Rudd reads books about chess, Hawking's The Theory of Everything, Quantum Physics for Babies, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Radical ideas that claim to solve all the problems of physics - so-called final theories of everything - have come and gone countless times in the history of physics and many are notable for emerging from outside the traditional world of university physics departments.
