Tamiaki Yoneya

Tamiaki Yoneya (米谷民明, Yoneya Tamiaki) (born 1947) is a Japanese physicist.

Independently of Joël Scherk and John H. Schwarz, he realized that string theory describes, among other things, the force of gravity.^[1] Yoneya has worked on the stringy extension of the uncertainty principle for many years.
