String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
An elementary particle is not an independently existing, unanalyzable entity. It is, in essence, a set of relationships that reaches outward to… — Henry Stapp Copy Share Image
It's indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I'm tempted to… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image

![“My colleagues in elementary particle theory in many lands [and I] are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, and our work is a delightful game. I am frequently astonished that it so often results in correct predictions of experimental results.
