String theory may be our best attempt at a theory of everything, except that it can't describe an expanding universe like ...

String theory thereby unravels the central Gordian knot of contemporary theoretical physics. This is a tremendous achievement, but it is only part of the reason string theory has generated such ...

This has been an active area of theoretical physics since the 1930s ... From the mid-1980s, string theory set up a possible framework to approach quantum gravity using a 'top-down' approach.

Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another at super-high energies, collisions that may confirm Arkani-Hamed's predictions about undiscovered ...

I think cosmology now, for example, is much more exciting than particle physics. The string theorists are trying to push ahead without much support from relevant experiments, because there aren't ...

In it, [The Action Lab] shows a 3D printed table that is held up only with strings. We didn’t say suspended by strings but held up. Or so it appears. The model is from Thingiverse, but it is one ...

Dr. Rod Cross, an avid tennis fan who earned his PhD in plasma physics from Sydney University, co-authored the book Technical Tennis: Racquets, Strings, Balls, Courts, Spin and Bounce with ...

Over recent months, a fair bit of mud has been slung in the theoretical physics community over the issue of string theory: has it failed to deliver as a 'theory of everything', and should we still ...

Together, they are finding common ground, where string theory can be applied to the physics of quark–gluon plasma. High-energy accelerators usually collide particles such as electrons or protons ...

string theory, and various other phenomena without connecting the dots between the theory of general relativity and quantum ...
