Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

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

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 ...

Heterotic string theory remains a captivating framework in the pursuit of unifying quantum mechanics with gravity. By merging aspects of bosonic and supersymmetric strings, it provides a fertile ...

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of the ...

A detailed look at the Universe reveals that it's made of matter and not antimatter, that dark matter and dark energy are required, and that we don't know the origin of any of these mysteries. However ...

In string theory, a paradigm shift could be imminent. In June, a team of string theorists published a conjecture which sounded revolutionary: String theory is said to be fundamentally incompatible ...
