<p>EinsteinGermany,</p>

<p>If you are interrest in superstring theory (that is, string theory with supersymmetry), go to Princeton. Since the Institute for Advanced Studies is in Princeton, <a href="http://www.ias.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ias.edu/&lt;/a>, some of the world's brightest minds flock to this town to work as theorist at IAS while holding teaching positions at Princeton University. Those who don't teach at Princeton however, often give special lectures on their research at the university. Also, the current MIT professor who has won the Nobel Prize of Physics this year, Frank Wilczek, earned his masters and Ph.D. from Princeton, after which he was a member of the faculty there until 2001. A good example of this is Ed Witten, a top superstring theorist that you can read more about here:</p>

<p>I strongly recommended Princeton although, regardless of where you go, you will prepare yourself well for a career in physics. Cornell for example, is a fine institution and is know for being the hardest Ivy to get out of because of its rigorous courses.</p>

<p>I strongly recommend this website to you and everyone interest in superstring theory:</p>

<p>Good Luck,</p>

<p>P.S. The name EinsteinGermany is a bit paradoxal. He did flee Germany because of the rise of the NAZI regime. He, I believe, especially in the year celebrating the 100 year anniversary of his great discoveries, would want everyone to remember that. Furthermore, I believe that many Germans and more importantly Albert himself, would not consider this great mind to be German but rather a citizen of the world.</p>
