String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment,” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
One of the main successes of string theory is that it has been able to unify the general theory of relativity, which describes gravity,… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
There are a lot of good things about string theory, and it's great that some people want to work on it. — Antony Garrett Lisi Copy Share Image
“Basically, string theory is the development of this visionary idea in a context of a fixed background of space and time. Loop quantum gravity… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
In many ways, string theory attempts to go beyond Einstein's dream... an all-encompassing description of nature that works at large distances where gravity becomes… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
I came to realise that string theory offers us the best hope of finding a unified theory of all matter and forces. — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
I can assure you that no string theorist would be interested in working on string theory if it were somehow permanently beyond testability. That… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image

“If one of the five theories describes our univers, who lives in the other four worlds” — Edward Witten Copy Share Image

On the other hand, we don't understand the theory too completely, and because of this fuzziness of spacetime, the very concept of spacetime and… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
As of now, string theorists have no explanation of why there are three large dimensions as well as time, and the other dimensions are… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is that the… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't change when… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Having those extra dimensions and therefore many ways the string can vibrate in many different directions turns out to be the key to being… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in describing nature… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all wrong. Humans do not understand it very… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
