Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
grand unified theoryIn physics, sought-for theory that would combine the theory of the strong nuclear force (called quantum chromodynamics) with the theory of the weak nuclear and electromagnetic forces (see forces, fundamental). The search for the grand unified theory is part of a larger programme seeking a unified field theory, or ‘theory of everything’, which would combine all the forces of nature (including gravity) within one framework. |

In this book, McAdams sketches out his grand unified theory of "reform governance," explaining what school-board members should and should not do. The achievements of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Einstein, and others in the reconciliation of natural forces and development of grand unified theory are cited as inspiration for attempting to build a grand unified theory in a humbler sphere, librarianship. Frampton of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and his colleagues are now exploring an alternative, though more complicated, grand unified theory that seems to avoid some of the inherent problems of the original, simple model. |
