In four spacetime dimensions, N = 8 supergravity is a quantum field theory which involves gravity and a finite number of fields. It can be found from a dimensional reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity by making the size of seven of the dimensions go to zero. It has eight supersymmetries, which is the most any gravitational theory can have, since there are eight half-steps between spin 2 and spin −2. More supersymmetries would mean the particles would have superpartners with spins higher than 2. The only theories with spins higher than 2 which are consistent involve an infinite number of particles. Stephen Hawking in his Brief History of Time speculated that this theory could be the theory of everything. However, in later years this was abandoned in favour of string theory. There has been renewed interest in the 21st century, with the possibility that this theory may be finite.
