Is String Theory Unraveling?JR Minkel
String theory is the idea in theoretical physics that reality is made up of infinitesimal vibrating strings, smaller than atoms, electrons or quarks. According to this theory, as the strings vibrate, twist and fold, they produce effects in many, tiny dimensions that humans interpret as everything...
Is String Theory Science?Davide CastelvecchiNature magazine
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helped power an experiment that might refute string theory. Experimentation in real life based on string theory is still pretty new, with much to discover. Scientists didn't find the particles they were seeking, which means one of a few different takeaways.Coul...
Here is where it can get a little tricky (though, let’s face it, all of string theory is a little tricky). If these strings exist, what are they made of? No one knows. One problem is that the particle (the string) is supposed to be the smallest, most fundamental unit that makes...

String theory is a theory of particle physics which proposes that elementary particles are comprised of one-dimensional strings which vibrate with certain frequencies. It has been in existence for about 40 years.Answer and Explanation: String theory is not widely accepted. There is a debate in ...
Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory: a specific kind of elliptic curve from a torus.
“Fluctuating Geome-tries in Statistical Mechanics and Field Theory.” The first part is an introductionto conformal field theory and string perturbation theory. The second part dealswith the search for a deeper answer to the question posed in the title.1Electronic address: joep@sbitp.itp.ucsb....
The String theory suggests that the elementary building blocks of the universe are made of one-dimensional structures called strings. The motivation of the Theory is to unite the fundamental forces of nature including regular gravitational force and quantum gravity which, according to our current...
