Disputed science: Einstein-Cartan-Evans Theory (ECE)
Disciplines:	Physics
Core tenets:
Myron Evans claims to have formulated a unified field theory which will revolutionize modern physics; these claims have not been accepted within mainstream physics
Year proposed:	* 2003 (current version)
Original proponents:	Myron Evans
Current proponents:	Myron Evans, Alpha Foundation Institute for Advanced Study

Myron Wyn Evans (b 1950), is a Welsh chemist, most notable for his claims to have developed a theory unifying general relativity, quantum mechanics and electromagnetism^[1]. This theory has not been accepted within physics.

Evans earned a B.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. The Royal Society of Chemistry awarded him the Harrison Memorial Prize in 1978 and the Meldola Medal in 1979. He was a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford, Fellow of the University of Wales, SERC Advanced Fellow at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, a researcher at IBM Kingston, New York, and a visiting scientist at Cornell Theory Center. He served briefly on the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte but resigned. He appears to have no current academic affiliation within the United Kingdom.
