But then our experience with supergravity and string theory, and the analogy of Goedel's_theorem, suggest that even this formulation, will be imcomplete." http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/strtst/dirac/hawking/ 040724 ... kx21 God does play dice... 040725 ... kx21 Posted by kx21 on May 16, 2003 at 23:16:01: M Physics 21: Stephen Hawking 'bows' to the Theory of Everything Date: Jan 23 2003 Location: Judge Institute, Cambridge University with video transmission to MIT and webcast via the Internet "Professor Hawking carried us on this quest, which dates from Aristotle, through classic Newtonian theory, to the development of quantum theory in the twentieth century. Finally he said, “Some people will be very disappointed if there is not an ultimate theory, that can be formulated as a finite number of principles. I used to belong to that camp, but I have changed my mind. I’m now glad that our search fro understanding will never come to an end, and that we will always have the challenge of new discovery."
