One of the founding fathers of string theory, Professor Leonard Susskind, will give a free public lecture at the University at 6pm on Thursday 26 February.

Susskind has also written about the landscape in his book The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design, which fellow string theorist Michael Duff reviewed for Physics ...

Cosmology, black holes, quantum mechanics, string theory—some of the thorniest areas in modern physics, with thorny math included—and the lecture hall remained packed. Once the classes were taped and ...

In this interview with rock musician and physicist Brian Cox, Susskind shows his amiability while discussing string theory over wine.

Susskind was suggesting that string theory augments this grand cosmological unfolding by adorning each of the universes in the multiverse with a different shape for the extra dimensions.

Some string theorists, taking their cue from Leonard Susskind of Stanford University, argue that these manifold universes of string theory may coexist, evolving from one to another in a way that ...
