In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

What’s more, branes don’t require the full range of mathematical tools required for string theory, opening the door to new groups of scientists. “You can use methods that are part and parcel of more ...

Why this matters: Extra dimensions could unify physics, explain cosmic mysteries, and reshape our understanding of the universe’s structure. What scientists propose: String theory and M‑theory predict ...

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random "valley" out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities According to Albert Einstein's ...

Researchers are demonstrating that, in certain contexts, string theory is the only consistent theory of quantum gravity. Might this make it true? Thirty years have passed since a pair of physicists, ...

Helium-3 experiment replicates colliding-brane theory of cosmology. Can you model what happened in the early Universe in the laboratory? Yes, according to one group of physicists. A team at Lancaster ...
