the physicists can't be popular, like Einstien. I'm not a science major and I'm really not into physics...so does anyone know of a not so popular physicist that would be interesting to research? They need to have enough information about themsleves for me to write a couple pages. Any suggestions?

He was also the most brilliant physicist of the 20th century

Edward Witten hes not popularly known but people who do know physics recognize him as probably the smartest man alive today. He has won the Field Medal for math. I think hes the only person alive who may give us a functional theory of quantum gravity.

Brian Greene, at Columbia U., who popularized string theory through his books "The Elegant Universe" and "The Fabric of the Cosmos", plus through the PBS series "The Elegant Universe." Greene is to string theory what Carl Sagan was to the cosmos. [See source.]
