Researchers are using machine learning, symbolic regression, and high-performance computing to explore and classify string ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania, working with colleagues at Arizona State University, are examining the limitations of a framework that aims to unify the laws of physics throughout the ...

In the late 19th century, classical physics seemed complete. Scientists believed they had uncovered all the laws governing ...

For String Theory to be correct, we have to “break” this 10 dimensional Brans-Dicke theory down to a four dimensional Einsteinian theory, ...

String theory strutted onto the scene some 30 years ago as perfection itself, a promise of elegant simplicity that would solve knotty problems in fundamental physics—including the notoriously ...

String theory models each point in spacetime as being wrapped by an eleven dimensional hypersphere and these spheres are arrayed in the three dimensions of spacetime we are familiar with.

Ultimately, string theory must make contact with data to remain interesting. Profound ideas, however, don’t come with expiry dates: that contact might come in a year, 10 years, or a century.

String theory, however, is one attempt to unify all the forces under a single framework. In string theory, the fundamental particles of our existence are instead seen as a collection of tiny, ...

A University of Colorado Boulder physicist is one step closer to solving a string theory puzzle 20 years in the making. Paul Romatschke, an associate professor of physics at CU Boulder, has devised an ...
