Satyendra Nath Bose taught us, in 1924, how to correctly count the distinct microstates for the indistinguishables, and for a gas of light quanta (later photons), whose number is not conserved, e.g., can vary with temperature, he gave a proper derivation of Planck’s law of black body radiation. Einstein, in 1925, gen...

Unification of the theory of gravitation, as given by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, and the theory of electromagnetism, as formulated by Maxwell, had been Einstein’s dream during the later part of his life. String theory, which is the subject of this article, is an attempt to realize this dream. However in many ways string theory attempts to go beyond Einstein’s dream. String theory ...
