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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century, it became apparent that most ...

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 ...

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.

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