It contains Newton’s laws as part of it, because if you can do the quantum theory, you can always find hidden in it the classical theory. That’s called the Schrödinger equation, and just about anything you see in this room, or on this planet, anything you can see or use is really described by this equation I’m going to write down today. Professor Ramamurti Shankar: All right, today’s topic is the theory of nearly everything, okay? You wanted to know the theory of everything? You’re almost there, because I’m finally ready to reveal to you the laws of quantum dynamics that tells you how things change with time.
