Physics in Opera
The Theory of EverythingPhysicists have long sought a theory that would unify or explain the theories of all fundamental interactions of nature. Call it the Holy Grail of physics, if you will. Now even non-scientists can observe this search at Encompass New Opera Theatre’s “The Theory of Everything,” a new opera with music by John David Earnest and libretto by Nancy Rhodes.
