A lost page of Albert Einstein’s handwritten notes and equations has turned up. The page, part of the appendix to a scientific journal article published in 1930, shows one of Einstein’s attempts to unite all the fundamental forces into a single set of equations, or a "theory of everything."

A never-before-seen page of Albert Einstein's handwritten notes and equations on the unified theory of physics has been discovered in an archive of Einstein manuscripts recently acquired by The Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
According to a statement from the university, the newfound page was part of an appendix that Einstein included with a scientific article on unified field theory — the long-sought theory that unites all the fundamental forces of nature into a single set of equations — which Einstein submitted to the Prussian Academy of Science in 1930.
