Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the Large Hadron Collider.

Taylor Swift was on to something with her 2020 Folklore track “Invisible String.” The idea that individuals are intrinsically linked to each other has gained traction over the last few years, but the ...

The idea of String Theory is that our Universe came from a higher-dimensional, more symmetric, more complex state with an enormous number of degrees of freedom. In order for String Theory to be solved ...

Since the 1980s, string theory has emerged as the leading candidate for achieving every physicist’s dream: reconciling general relativity with quantum mechanics and thereby finding a tidy explanation ...

Another day, another TikTok dating trend — but this time, it’s spiritual. If you’re anything like us, your FYP is popping off with mushy montage videos of couples kissing, hugging, and celebrating ...
