But the deeper physicists have delved into string theory, the more complicated its mathematics has become, and the more remote from physical reality. Some critics find this unacceptable ...

It is perfectly suited to introductory courses in string theory for students with a background in mathematics and physics. New sections cover strings on orbifolds, cosmic strings, moduli stabilization ...

And a sizeable part of the physics and mathematics community is becoming increasingly convinced that string theory may provide the answer. From one principle—that everything at its most ...

In other words, if string theory is correct, the Standard Model would be just one segment of string theory's full mathematical description of reality. The problem is that string theory describes ...

It was a mathematical technique rather than a theory in itself. Later on this primitive string theory that existed in the 1970s became combined with the theory of supersymmetry—which is another ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single mathematical framework capable of describing the entirety of the known universe.

String theory remains elusive as a 'provable' phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative mathematical method ...

While still theoretical and highly debated, the mathematics of string theory suggests that there could be multiple dimensions of time. Columbia University's theoretical physicist Brian Greene ...

But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative mathematical method that points to its "inevitability." String theory posits ...

The researchers applied mathematical knot theory to develop a computational method to create a DNA-like symbolic representation of each string figure. This enables the cross-cultural comparison of ...
