Maldacena's research potentially unifies which two important theories?

  • Relativity & Quantum Fields

  • Biology & Quantum Mechanics

  • Chemistry & Thermodynamics

  • Electromagnetism & Gravity

Answer

Relativity and quantum field theory are two of the most successful and well-tested theories in physics. However, they seem fundamentally incompatible. Relativity describes gravity as a curvature of spacetime, while quantum field theory describes the fundamental forces of nature, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces, as particles.
