Maybe his beautiful mind was what was required to grasp the reality.
I wonder when we will see this equation? Unfortunate timing on the crash...huh??? :-\
Had the Beautiful Mind just done its finest work? Mathematician Nash told friends he had devised an equation to replace Einstein's famous theory just DAYS before he died in car crash
John Forbes Nash Jr. was killed with his wife in a car crash on May 23
He told friend he'd discovered replacement equation for Einstein theory
Mathematician Cédric Villani said he would 'look into' Nash's work
Nash and his wife Alicia, 82, were killed in a taxi crash in New Jersey in the US last week.
A colleague who had received an award with Nash in Norway earlier in the week said they had just flown home and the couple had taken a cab from the airport.
But now it's been revealed that Nash was on the brink of making a ground-breaking discovery.
Villani told The Times: 'He explained it to me. He thought he had discovered a replacement for the equation.'
He also said Nash claimed his replacement would help further explain quantum gravity.
Einstein's theory of relativity, published in the early 20th century, explains that what we perceive as gravity arises from the curvature of space and time.
Interesting that he said it would explain quantum gravity. So, not a space/time curvature after all? ;)
