Light comes in discrete packets called photons. Each photon has energy E = h*frequency. h is called Planck's constant and is ~6.626e-34 Js

Why is Einsteins Relativity Theory and Quantum Physics at odds?

Einstein's Relativity Theory is at odds with quantum physics because Einstein's theory works at a macroscopic level, while quantum physics works at an atomic level, and things at the atomic level work differently from the macroscopic level.


Again I ask why was Einsteins Relativity Theory at odds with Quantum Physics?

Einstein's Relativity is at odds with quantum physics because they both work at different levels and under different conditions.

Can you explain string theory in very simple terms?

In simple, average Joe terms, string theory says that all the particles in the universe are really little "strings", rather then the conventional ball-shape they are normally thought of. Unlike the balls (or more accurately, points) which are zero-dimensional, strings are one-dimensional. This has some very interesting implications, but to explain them would evolve out stepping a "simple definition". String theory is known for uniting both the physical laws of the large (Einsteins general relativity- stars, planets, and people) and the small (quantum mechanics- subatomic particles), which were previously incompatible. Short for super sting theory, now known as M-theory. This answer explains only the very basics of string theory.

What did steven hawkin do?

He made Einsteins theory of relativity "Beautifull". He proved Einsteins original and not his revised theory of relativity was indeed correct. But most of all, he is an amaising person!
