String theory is an attempt to unite the two pillars of 20th century physics — quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity — with an overarching framework that can explain all ...

The five main string-theory candidates may all just be pieces of a larger, cohesive whole — and M-theory could bring them together.

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single mathematical framework capable of describing the entirety of the known ...

Not according to string theory. String theory is the idea that everything in the universe, every particle of light and matter, is comprised of miniscule vibrating strings.

Currently, the theory has been linked with theories of space time in order to build a new picture of quantum gravity. This class will provide an introduction to modern QFT and state-of-the-art ...

These were eventually unified into superstring theory, which also introduces the concept of additional spatial dimensions beyond the familiar three.Simplify the complex world of string and ...

String theory, conceptualized more than 50 years ago as a framework to explain the formation of matter, remains elusive as a "provable" phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the Large Hadron Collider.

Astrophysicist Dr Greene’s Australian tour highlights the beautiful mystery of string theory RENOWNED astrophysicist is heading to Australia and he just might hold the key to the universe. Or ...

No, Greene is writing about string theory, the most fantastical and unprovable frontiers of science. As he explains for the uninitiated masses, string theory entirely holds up on its internal ...
