The Central Programme of Twistor Theory
Abstract
It is generally accepted that one of the most important of the unsolved problems oftheoreticalphysics is to find the appropriate union of general relativity with quantum mechanics-ineffect, to finda unified physics of the large and the small. It has been the conventional viewpoint onthis issue thatwhat is needed is the correct theory of quantum gravity which, to mostphysicists, wouldmean the correct application of the standard rules of quantum (field) theory toEinsteins generalrelativity-or to some appropriate modification of that theory if it turns out thatEinsteins theoryresists all attempts at quantization in the ordinary sense.
