String theory and the fabric of spacetime: Struggling to understand string theory and the fabric of spacetime? In this lecture, theoretical physicist Brian Greene makes everything clear. Sort of.

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

These were eventually unified into superstring theory, which also introduces the concept of additional spatial dimensions beyond the familiar three.Simplify the complex world of string and ...

Oct. 17, Tuesday -- Our entire outlook is about to change as physicists put forward theories that our universe is just a tiny pocket in a stupendous landscape, says Leonard Susskind, professor of ...

Heckman's work involves a blend of techniques from physics and math centered on string theory and quantum field theory, which he uses to address questions in particle physics, cosmology, and quantum ...

He arrived onstage without a violin — neither his 1714 Soil Stradivarius nor his Guarneri del Gesu 1743 Sauret, which he has played on concert stages around the world — and still gave a command ...

String theory began over 50 years ago as a way to understand the strong nuclear force. Since then, it’s grown to become a theory of everything, capable of explaining the nature of every particle ...

Space.com caught up with Greene to discuss the importance of science education, why black holes are so interesting and whether a "theory of everything" breakthrough could be on the horizon.

Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles—though not yet those of our universe.
