Branes & Superstring Theory: String theory, while prestigious in many facets—especially in quantum mechanics and cosmology—does indeed carry flaws that can turn the universe inside out.

Superstring theory is a bold attempt to tie them together. A "string," if such things exist, is unimaginably small at 10-33 centimeters long (that's 32 zeros between the decimal point and the one ...

If superstring theory turns out to be correct, the idea of a world consisting of 10 or more dimensions is one that we'll need to become comfortable with. But will there ever be an ...

Curiously, superstring theory, the pri. The goal of elementary particle physics is to achieve a unified understanding of fundamental forces (gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear) and elementary ...

A paper set to appear in an upcoming issue of Physical Review Letters uses one type of superstring theory to describe what the interior of a black hole would look like, thermodynamically speaking.

The experimental discovery of supersymmetry would have been a concrete step towards superstring theory, the ‘theory of everything’ Ellis touted in his 1986 article. “String theory puts everything into ...

Few fields of scientific endeavor are “hotter” than superstring theory. Despite a debate that has broken out between theoretical physicists over the substantiality of the field (see “Opinion,” page 9) ...
