[edit] Hawking quote

Either I don't get it or it's a reference to God. So what is it doing here? Tetronian you're clueless 03:40, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I think it's more of a question than an assertion, and gods aren't the only "answers". ħumanUser talk:Human 04:42, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I guess that makes sense. I found it a bit odd though. Tetronian you're clueless 13:09, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Theory of Everything.

The article says that "One of the more popular of today's physics topics is the attempt to unify the theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. This would be called a 'theory of everything' because it would mean that all four of the known fundamental forces (gravity, weak-nuclear, strong-nuclear and electromagnetic) are explained by one theory governing their interaction with the world as we know it." This isn't true. Loop Quantum Gravity, for example, is a quantum theory of gravity but it says nothing about unification of gravity with the other forces.

Just go ahead and change that to something more suitable. Scarlet A.pngtheist 13:48, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! Does it look good now? Andy Frankinson (talk) 14:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Four principal breakthroughs

I don't see why "planetary motion, fluid flow, wave propagation and the classical kinetic theory of gases" is all bundled into one. Sure, newton worked on most of them (not sure about the last one), but they are separate fields.
