I don't understand string theory. In fact, I bet there's fewer than 1% of the world that can speak cogently on the subject, but I am fascinated by the concept and have read a bit on it. Not enough ...

String theory remains elusive as a “provable” phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative ...

String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...

String theory hopes to be a literal theory of everything — a powerful idea that could completely revolutionize our understanding of the physical world. But it has never been directly tested.

The quest for a unifying “theory of everything” has been a long-standing endeavor in the world of physics. This theoretical ...

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of ...

String theory is such a tempting, beautiful idea — but after 60 years, it hasn't produced a final theory or predictions to test against experiment in the real universe. Should we keep hanging ...

Are black holes tunnels to other locations in spacetime? Are they wormholes connecting different regions of the universe? A study has provided a clear answer to this question. The remainder of this ...

Stanford math professor Keith Devlin talks about two new books that call into question the entire idea of string theory. The theory states that tiny vibrating strings make up everything, but some ...

A University of Colorado Boulder physicist is one step closer to solving a string theory puzzle 20 years in the making. Paul Romatschke, an associate professor of physics at CU Boulder, has devised an ...

Mathematicians are exploring a string duality between F-theory and heterotic string theory in eight dimensions.
