String Theory Quotes by Edward Witten
- String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a…
- So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of…

- One very important aspect of string theory is definitely testable. That was the prediction of supersymmetry, which emerged from string theory in the early '70s.
- Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle…
