Joël Scherk was a French theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to string theory and supergravity. While working with John Schwarz at École Normale Supérieure, he identified that mysterious messenger particles in string theory, previously considered undesirable, were similar to the graviton, a particle associated with gravity. Together, they discovered in 1974 that photon, weak gauge boson, gluon, and graviton could be explained by string theory, leading to quantized gravity theories. Tragically, he died by suicide in 1979 after his divorce.
