David Gross’s Nobel Prize was for work on the ‘strong’ force which acts between quarks inside the atom. Now he works on string theory, hoping to understand how all the forces of nature could be united. He believes the next steps may involve throwing out all our ideas about both space and time. But he makes young theoretician Itzhak Fouxon, who shares these views, work hard to justify them.
