We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.

I came to realise that string theory offers us the best hope of finding a unified theory of all matter and forces.

Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half of his life searching for a unifying truth that would reconcile the two.

I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.

It is obvious that the monetary union among 17 very different European countries does not work. As an economist, I know that the Eurozone is not an optimum currency area, as defined in economic theory.
