The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. If you examine any piece of matter ever more finely, at first you'll find molecules,…

— Brian Greene

“Strings possess one defining property which is their tension. This quantity plays a crucial role in the overall picture of how strings can be…

— John D. Barrow

You have that one basic string, but it can vibrate in many ways. But we're trying to get a lot of particles because experimental…

— Edward Witten

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

String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a…

— Roy H. Williams

“According to string theory in quantum mechanics the core of energy and matter on a subatomic level is a vibrating, string-like filament that is…

— Russell Anthony Gibbs

“(The string is extremely tiny, at the Planck length of 10 ^-33 cm, a billion billion times smaller than a proton, so all subatomic…

In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we…

— Michio Kaku

“In string theory, the situation is very different. The law of motion dictates the laws of the forces. This is because all forces in…

— Lee Smolin

“At that moment it would have been easier for me to spontaneously grasp quantum string theory”

— Augusten Burroughs

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality. The strings of string theory are vibrating…
