String theory, conceptualized more than 50 years ago as a framework to explain the formation of matter, remains elusive as a ...

then we must add most dimensions to the universe. Modern versions of string theory state that we have either ten or eleven ...

String theorists are betting that extra dimensions do indeed exist; in fact, the equations that describe superstring theory require a universe with no fewer than 10 dimensions. But even physicists ...

The problem is that string theory describes many different versions of reality. That’s because the strings exist in a realm ...

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 ...

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 that ...

String theory proclaims otherwise ... would find that each is not pointlike but instead consists of a tiny, one-dimensional loop. Like an infinitely thin rubber band, each particle contains ...

The problem is that string theory describes many different versions of reality. That’s because the strings exist in a realm with multiple dimensions of space beyond the ordinary three.

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments. It introduces the ...
