Is there a theory of everything? Clerk Maxwell Professor of Theoretical Physics John Ellis explains how supersymmetrical particles and string theory could provide a theory of everything and help us understand the dark universe.
John Ellis is a British theoretical physicist who is currently Clerk Maxwell Professor of Theoretical Physics at King's College London. He was Division Leader for the CERN theory division, a founding member of the LEPC and of the LHCC at CERN and currently chair of the committee to investigate physics opportunities for future proton accelerators. Ellis' research interests focus on the phenomenological aspects of particle physics, though he has also made important contributions to astrophysics and cosmology and quantum gravity. He was one of the pioneers of research at the interface between particle physics and cosmology, which has since become a sub-specialty of its own: particle astrophysics.
