For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

For decades, scientists have taken issue with “string theory” — a theory of the universe which contends that the fundamental forces and matter of nature can be reduced to tiny one-dimensional ...

The apparent inability of physics' string theory to be proved right or wrong is one of the stickiest – and argument-generating – problems in modern science. But now researchers at the University of ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...

It’s the theory everyone loves to hate. Depending on who you ask these days, string theory is either untestable, disconnected from reality or not even science. Right? Not so fast. While critics have ...

This past weekend saw the World Science Festival take over portions of New York City, with a street fair, outdoor stargazing, a full-sized model of the James Webb Space Telescope, and more. A lot of ...

One of the subjects we keep coming back to here at Nobel Intent is the unification of gravity and quantum mechanics. One of the main contenders for this has to be string theory, in which all ...

For decades, many scientists have criticized string theory, pointing out that it does not make predictions by which it can be tested. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University; the University of ...
