Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by ...
