Out of the limelight, theoretical physicists continue to seek a mathematical model that can explain the universe's particles ...

The equations of string theory could give rise to elementary particles like those currently known (electrons, quarks, photons, etc.), but because detailed numerical predictions cannot yet be made ...

String theory aims to explain all fundamental forces and particles in the universe—essentially, how the world operates on the ...

String theory proclaims otherwise. According to string theory, if we could examine these particles with even greater precision—a precision many orders of magnitude beyond our present ...
