String Theory - DAMTP
Reason 1. String theory is a theory of quantum gravity String theory uni es Einstein’s theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. Moreover, it does so in a manner that retains the explicit connection with both quantum theory and the low-energy description of spacetime. But quantum gravity contains many puzzles, both technical and ...

Electromagnetism - DAMTP
www.damtp.cam.ac.ukAt the atomic scale, electromagnetism (admittedly in conjunction with some basic quantum e ects) governs the interactions between atoms and molecules. It is the force that underlies the periodic table of elements, giving rise to all of chemistry and, through this, much of biology. It is the force which binds atoms together into solids and liquids.
