The main scientific objective of this research project was to investigate the physics of the very early universe using modern techniques of string theory. We have studied the propagation of strings in ...

String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with elementary particles and forces described as vibrations of tiny threads of ...

According to string theory, all the different particles that constitute physical reality are made of the same thing--tiny looped strings whose different vibrations give rise to the different ...

String theory — the concept that all particles can be represented as strings or string-loops of incredibly minute length, oscillating at various frequencies — was initially developed to help explain ...

In today’s Academic Minute, Dr. Ali Nayeri of Chapman University discusses the explanatory power of string theory cosmology. Ali Nayeri is an assistant professor of physics in the Schmid College of ...

PASCOS 2026, the 31st International Symposium on Particles, Strings, and Cosmology, will be held in Sheffield from June 22 to 26, 2026. This interdisciplinary conference aims to highlight recent ...

A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology. It's in the stars One of ...
