Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

Explore the fascinating concepts of string theory, a fundamental framework in modern physics that describes how the universe is built from tiny, vibrating strings. This video delves into the ...

A new study just added an interesting twist to the complicated history of the physics theory.

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...
