Helen Rhoda Quinn: Fierce Female Physicist Tackles a Problem Even Einstein Couldn’t Solve

Theoretical physics seems like the epitome of complexity, but it’s really all about simplicity: seeking to explain the universe as elegantly as possible, perhaps even with a single mathematical equation. That equation, often called a “Theory of Everything,” has been a Holy Grail for physicists ever since Einstein tried – and failed – to achieve it. Helen Rhoda Quinn began her career as one of the few female physicists in the world, and followed her love of math and science from rural Australia to Stanford University. Her groundbreaking work picked up where Einstein left off, predicting the existence of dark matter particles and making critical progress toward the ultimate physics achievement: the Theory of Everything. Since 1824 (77 years longer than the Nobel Prizes), The Franklin Institute has been recognizing scientists and engineers who have changed the world -- and our lives. Find out more at fi.edu/awards.
