Heim theory

Last updated

Heim theory, first proposed by German physicist Burkhard Heim publicly in 1957, is an attempt to develop a theory of everything in theoretical physics. The theory claims to bridge some of the disagreements between quantum mechanics and general relativity. [1] The theory has received little attention in the scientific literature and is regarded as being outside mainstream science [2] [1] [3] [4] but has attracted some interest in popular and fringe media. [4] [5] [6] Heim attempted to resolve incompatibilities between quantum theory and general relativity. To meet that goal, he developed a mathematical approach based on quantizing spacetime. [2]
