However, invisible string theory can help take some of the pressure off. “If you just believe in the universe kind of sorting it all out, you might have more fun with the process,” says Cohen.

Can tiny vibrating strings explain the universe? Discover the secrets of string theory and the quest for a theory of everything Trump's joint address to Congress has a raucous start as Democrats ...

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 ...

String theory is a mathematical description of nature that requires space to possess several additional dimensions beyond the ordinary three. These extra dimensions, too small to notice in ...

A string that oscillates a certain way might be viewed by us (with our current technology) as an electron, whereas strings that oscillate in other ways might be seen as photons, quarks, etc. One of ...

Opinion Decades later, string theory continues its march toward Einstein’s dream Why we must keep investigating physics’ most tantalizing theory — even without experimental results.

In string theory, a microscopic manifold lies at every point in our 4D universe and determines the laws of physics we experience. Illustration: Courtesy of O. Knill and E. Slavkovsky ...

And so string theorists came up with an elegant solution. If the universe does not have enough dimensions to give strings the freedom they need to explain all of physics, then we must add most ...
