Summary Roger Anderton contends that certain important figures in Physics have been sidelined, and even discredited, in popular culture by being portrayed in a science-fictional way. He argues some of what Einstein proposed is incorrect and, in order to undo his flawed work, we need to go back to an earlier time period and see what can be derived from older theories. One of the goals of modern physics is to "unify the forces" - i.e. define a single theorem which includes all the forces observed in nature. This idea is controversial with many people claiming to have already done it, but no unified field theory has yet been accepted by academia. Anderton believes that Roger Boscovich, who died in 1787, was well on the way to defining a unified field theory. Are discoveries in Physics being hidden?
