String theory might be the theory of everything… or a flawed framework for theoretical physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

String theory, at least on paper, seems to have succeeded. Gravity not only fits in with quantum behavior — it is actually required by string theory. But here’s the problem: string theory is exciting ...

COVINGTON, Ky. — If you visited BLINK Cincinnati last year and went to Washington Park, you probably saw people under a chaos of yarn. Covington Artist Dan Shields was the brains behind the “String ...

Taylor Swift was on to something with her 2020 Folklore track “Invisible String.” The idea that individuals are intrinsically linked to each other has gained traction over the last few years, but the ...

It’s not easy being a “theory of everything.” A TOE has the very tough job of fitting gravity into the quantum laws of nature in such a way that, on large scales, gravity looks like curves in the ...

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 ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single mathematical framework capable of describing the entirety of the known universe. The ...
