"Now Europe is fortunate to have one of the world's leading experts in
string theory working on an ambitious project that could make
significant progress towards a unified theory, and at least help
resolve two mysteries.....Czech physicist Dr. Martin Schnabl has been
selected to receive a EURYI Award by the European science Foundation
(ESF) and the European Heads of Research Councils (EuroHORCS) to help
him pursue his project and build on five years of hard work
culminating in the solution of an equation in string field theory that
had gone unsolved for 20 years....."It is important in the regimes
where quantum gravity is important, such as black holes and the
beginning of the universe," added Schnabl. In both cases, dimensions
can be small, requiring quantum mechanics, but energies and mass are
enormous, creating huge gravitational fields that currently can only
be dealt with by general relativity.....EURYI is designed to attract
outstanding young scientists from around the world to create their own
research teams at European research centres and launch potential world-
leading research careers. Most awards are between ˆ1,000,000 and
ˆ1,250,000, comparable in size to the Nobel Prize."

Albert Einstein: "I consider it entirely possible that physics cannot
be based upon the field concept, that is on continuous structures.
Then nothing will remain of my whole castle in the air, including the
theory of gravitation, but also nothing of the rest of contemporary
physics."

I don't know works of Dr. Martin Schnabl but ususlly these kind of
PhD communities give awards only to themselves no matter
"bull**** cranker" or not ?
