In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time based on string theory to explain dark energy. Their hypothesis suggests that, at extremely small scales, space and time behave differently from how ...

Scientists seeking the secrets of the universe would like to make a model that shows how all of nature’s forces and particles fit together. It would be nice to do it with Legos. But perhaps a better ...

Marika Taylor currently receives funding from EPSRC, STFC, UK government deparments and the European Horizon programme. In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the ...

Jon Cartwright points out “that string theory was so flexible it could describe a truly vast array of fantastical universes. Something like 10 500 in fact – a number so huge it belied any physical ...

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of the ...
