The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Theoretical physics employs Mathematical models and Abstractions of Physics in an attempt to explain experimental data taken of the natural world Along with Yoichiro Nambu, Gabriele Veneziano, Michael Green, Leonard Susskind, and Edward Witten, he is regarded as one of the fathers of string theory. is a Japan -born American Physicist, currently a Professor at the University of Chicago. Gabriele Veneziano (born 1942, Florence, Italy) is an Italian theoretical physicist and a founder of String theory. For other people with this name see Michael Green. Michael Boris Green (born 22 May 1946 Leonard Susskind (born 1940 is the Felix Bloch professor of Theoretical physics at Stanford University in the field of String theory and Edward Witten (born August 26, 1951) is an American Theoretical physicist and Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study String theory is a still-developing scientific approach to Theoretical physics, whose original building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings
John Schwarz was born in North Adams, Massachusetts in 1941. North Adams is a city in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, United States. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts ( is a state located in the New England region of the northeastern United States. He studied mathematics at Harvard College (A.B., 1962) and theoretical physics at the University of California at Berkeley (Ph.D., 1966), where his graduate advisor was Geoffrey Chew. Harvard College is the undergraduate section and oldest school of Harvard University, a Private university in the United States founded in 1636 by the Massachusetts Year 1962 ( MCMLXII) was a Common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Year 1966 ( MCMLXVI) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the 1966 Gregorian calendar. Geoffrey Chew (born 1924 is an American Theoretical physicist. For several years he was one of the very few physicists who pursued string theory as a viable theory of quantum gravity. String theory is a still-developing scientific approach to Theoretical physics, whose original building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings Quantum gravity is the field of Theoretical physics attempting to unify Quantum mechanics, which describes three of the fundamental forces of nature His work with Michael Green on anomaly cancellation in Type I string theories led to the so-called "first superstring revolution" of 1984, which greatly contributed to moving string theory into the mainstream of research in theoretical physics. The Green-Schwarz mechanism (sometimes called the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism) is the main discovery that started the First superstring revolution In Physics, the first superstring revolution is a period of important discoveries in String theory roughly between 1984 and 1986. Year 1984 ( MCMLXXXIV) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1984 Gregorian calendar)

He then moved to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he is currently the Harold Brown Professor of Theoretical Physics. The California Institute of Technology (commonly referred to as Caltech) is a private, Coeducational research university located in Pasadena Harold Brown (born September 19, 1927) American scientist was U He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and received the Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in 1989, as well as the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics of the American Physical Society in 2002.
