For String Theory to be correct, we have to “break” this 10 dimensional Brans-Dicke theory down to a four dimensional Einsteinian theory, which means getting rid of six dimensions and this ...

Since the 1980s, string theory has emerged as the leading candidate for achieving every physicist’s dream: reconciling general relativity with quantum mechanics and thereby finding a tidy ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests.

Host Ed Garsten discusses how both reporters and PR people can use gathering "string" to create complete, compelling stories and story pitches.

The invisible string theory became popular on TikTok in 2023, but the concept has been around for years. Bronstein tells PEOPLE that it's unknown when the term was coined, but it does have ties to ...

Will string theory eventually make it into the history books of science rather the history books of mathematics? That's a more interesting question. It's not clear it will survive as a science.

String theory not only embraces gravity but requires it. String theory also requires six or seven extra dimensions of space, and it contains ways of relating large extra dimensions to small ones. The ...

B y now, just about everyone has heard of string theory. Even those who don’t really understand it–which is to say, just about everyone–know that it’s the hottest thing in theoretical physics.

Heterotic string theory remains a captivating framework in the pursuit of unifying quantum mechanics with gravity. By merging aspects of bosonic and supersymmetric strings, it provides a fertile ...
