String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to combine general relativity and quantum field theory ...

An artist's impression of how the very early universe (less than one billion years old) might have looked when it went through a voracious onset of star formation, converting primordial hydrogen into ...

A group of scientists led by specialist Raúl Jiménez, an ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona's Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), in partnership with the University of Padua (Italy), ...

Scientists propose a bold test of string theory by identifying a hypothetical five-particle family, called a 5-plet, that string theory cannot produce. If such a particle were found at the LHC, it ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Over the past decade, string theorists have struggled to reconcile their elegant mathematical theory with the reality of our observable reality, inventing what has been ...

"But one of the drawbacks of string theory is that it operates in high-dimensional math and a vast 'landscape' of possible universes, making it fiendishly difficult to test experimentally," Heckman ...

In the late 19th century, classical physics seemed complete. Scientists believed they had uncovered all the laws governing the universe, which appeared to operate like a precise machine. But ...
