“…One can distinguish between two conceptual approaches in the search to unify the four natural forces. The first, known as the 'geometrizing' of physics [77,53], was heavily influenced by Kaluza's theory. This is the path that Einstein would follow for thirty years.…”

Theodor Kaluza (1885–1954) attracted the attention of the physical community since 1921 with his unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism in five dimensions. Despite Einstein's great interest in Kaluza's theory, 50 years elapsed before it contributed toward a paradigm shift in modern theoretical physics. The biography of this still unknown scientist is briefly presented along with an outline of his work in physics. A short history of the theories of unification and the dimensionality of space‐time is followed by a discussion of the significance of Kaluza's five‐dimensional unified theory in modern physics from the point of view of superstring and M‐theory.

“…First we will address the development of gauge theory [60,53,56,44]. Weyl's approach, laid out in his paper from 1929 titled "Electron and Gravitation I" [81], proved fruitful.…”
