What is the quantum relativity theory in as simple of terms as possible?

The merger of quantum mechanics with the special theory of relativity is commonly known as quantum field theory. According to this theory every particle of matter is just an excitation of a field that is everywhere in space. There is a different field for every different particle (this is not really true, but close enough).
You might already be familiar with electromagnetism. In that theory (which has now been completely absorbed into quantum field theory) electric and magnetic forces are transmitted via photons. These photons are just excitations of the photon field.
A photon has no mass, but all particles can be thought as as being excitations of fields. There is for example an electron field, but also a neutrino field and a muon field.

Who had two theories of relativity and was big in quantum mechanics?
Albert Einstein developed the theories of general relativity and special relativity. He also did work in quantum theory. (He won a Nobel prize for his work with light.)
What is true relativity or quantum mechanics?
Einstein's work on the Photoelectric effect, which won him the Nobel prize in 1921 was a bulwark of Quantum Mechanics. Einstein went off in another direction because of his inate suspicion that Quantum Mechanics has severe internal difficulties. Quantum Mechanics and Relativity have not yet been reconciled--but they are moving together slowly. Quantum Gravity seems to be key to the issue and may be resolved by String Theory.
Which came first the theory of natural selection or the theory of relativity or the heliocentric theory or the theory of the the hydrogen atom?
In the following order: Heliocentric theory of the solar system (Aristarchus of Samos, 270 BCE) Natural Selection (Darwinian evolution, 1858) Theory of the hydrogen atom (as a small negatively charged particle inside a larger positively charged particle, 1904, the plum pudding model) Theory of relativity (special relativity, 1905) Theory of relativity (general relativity's initial paper on the acceleration of objects within the framework of special relativity, 1907) Theory of the hydrogen atom (as a small particle orbiting the atomic nucleus, 1909, the Rutherford or Planetary model) Theory of the hydrogen atom (as an "electron cloud" surrounding the atomic nucleus, 1913, the quantum mechanical or Bohr model) Theory of relativity (general relativity and its ability to warp space-time, 1915) So heliocentrism was, by about two millenia, the first. Relativity and the model of the hydrogen atom are intricately intertwined, so which came first depends on what you mean specifically.
Can anyone explain the quantum theory?
Richard Feynman stated once that "if you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don't understand quantum mechanics". However it is possible to learn how to write and solve the equations of quantum mechanics to get answers that can be verified experimentally.
Did Einstein study quantum mechanics?
actually einstein developed one of the earliest parts of quantum mechanics: the theory of the photoelectric effect. he worked directly with many of the scientists that later developed the complete theory of quantum mechanics and the mathematics to solve its apparent paradoxes to get usable predictions from the theory. later he rejected it due to it being nondeterministic, not because he didn't understand quantum mechanics but because he did understand quantum mechanics. he then tried to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity, hoping the resulting unified field theory would resolve the nondeterminism of quantum mechanics, resulting in a single fully deterministic theory of everything.
What are three examples of theory?
the theory of evolution, general relativity, quantum theory
Does the string theory bridge the gap between Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics?
No, string theory is an attempt to bridge the gap between EVERYTHING, not just relativity and quantum, into one fundamental theory.
What is QM it seems to be in relation to the Relativity Theory?
Quantum Mechanics
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.
What is the biggest contribution of einstein in physics?
(1) The Special Theory of Relativity, (2) the General Theory of Relativity, (3) important contributions in Quantum Physics.
Who had two theories of relativity and was big in quantum mechanics?
Albert Einstein developed the theories of general relativity and special relativity. He also did work in quantum theory. (He won a Nobel prize for his work with light.)
What are two scientific theories?
Some of them are 1) Big Bang Theory 2) Super string theory 3) General Relativity 4) Special Relativity 5) Quantum Theory
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.
What were Albert Einsteins accomplishments?
the theory of relativity & quantum mechanics.
What are most of Albert Einstein's discoveries?
Albert Einstein is most known for his theory of relativity, specifically the theory of special relativity and the theory of general relativity. These groundbreaking theories revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Einstein also made important contributions to quantum mechanics and the photoelectric effect, which later led to the development of quantum theory.
What theory did Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein come up with?
Einstein's theories were General and Special Relativity. Hawking put forward a theory combining relativity with quantum mechanics.
If new evidence was found in the theory of relativity can it be updated?
Of course. As it is we already know both relativity and quantum theory must be updated to make them unify, we just don't know how yet.
