Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining signatures of string theory.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). String theory was devised as a way to unite the laws of quantum mechanics with those of gravity, with the goal of creating the vaunted “theory of ...

For more than a decade, the American public has been fascinated with string theory. Science popularizers like Brian Greene produced hit TV documentaries that examined this mathematical construct.

Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.
