In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

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 ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...

String theory proposes tiny vibrating strings existing across 10 dimensions, unifying forces and particles beyond the familiar three spatial dimensions plus time. Petition Forcing Epstein Vote ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

Non-relativistic string theory offers an innovative perspective on the formulation of quantum gravity, providing a tractable limit of fully relativistic string theories by expanding in inverse powers ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...
