The beauty of science is to imagine more than we can prove. And string theory gives you a radically different interpretation of the universe.

— Ashoke Sen

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe…

— Brian Greene

I came to realise that string theory offers us the best hope of finding a unified theory of all matter and forces.

General relativity is in the old Newtonian framework where you predict what will happen, not the probability of what will happen. And putting together…

I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.

— Brian Greene

“The subject of this chapter is string theory, and I begin it with these reflections for two reasons. First, because the main thing that…

My belief is based on the fact that string theory is the first science in hundreds of years to be pursued in pre-Baconian fashion,…

“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

String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the two nuclear…
