Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the ...

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

Researchers at The University of South Carolina, USC, have proposed that a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics does exist. The link assumes that string field theory is a fully ...

But there is more to string theory than just explaining gravity on a molecular level; string theory is, essentially, the theory of everything. It is the attempt to unite the physics of our universe.

String theory, like quantum theory, is background dependent in that it relies on the existence of time and space. Strings vibrate in space over time and string theory does not describe what time ...

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it’s also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum ...

Romatschke acknowledges that this may be caused by the differences in dimensions, but is still optimistic about its usefulness to quantum field theory and cracking open the long-held string theory ...

Scientists propose a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory as the basis of all physics. Their calculations "could solve the ...
