In summary, the conversation discusses the need to construct a timeline for the search for the theory of everything in the 20th and 21st century. The person seeks information on the progress of this quest in the 21st century, particularly regarding string theory. They also question how we would know when a theory of everything is achieved and what experiment would prove it.

I need to construct a timeline for the quest for the theory of everything from the 20th-21st century.

I need help. I'm having trouble with the 21st century part since there aren't much books on this. Can anybody please inform me of all the TOE in the 21st century and what their up to? For example, what are those String Theoriests doing right now?
