For decades now, many physicists have pursued the hope that equations involving an especially tiny "string" could provide the theory that solves nature's ultimate subatomic mysteries. String ...

Bootstrapping strings Evidence that string theory could be the sole viable “theory of everything” has emerged in a new theoretical study of particle scattering. (Courtesy: iStock/Anadmist) Striking ...

The universe is crying out the presence of G-d, and despite appearances, reality is truly unlimited.

String theory suggests that the most fundamental building blocks of the universe are not particles like electrons or quarks, but tiny, vibrating strings of energy. It is the vibration and arrangement ...

String theory has its supporters and its gainsayers among theoretical physicists. Even advocates admit that the theory could be entirely wrong (though naturally they don't think it is).

After writing a 400-page book on string theory and then helping NOVA translate that book into a three-hour documentary, would Brian Greene, we wondered, have anything more to say about string theory?

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains why he thinks string theory is the best way to understand how the universe works. In Sri Lanka, a charming elephant cheekily halts traffic for treats.

Something about being at sea encourages philosophical musing. Something about looking down into the darkness of deep water, ...

Together, they are finding common ground, where string theory can be applied to the physics of quark–gluon plasma. High-energy accelerators usually collide particles such as electrons or protons ...

Kai Cenat Reportedly Skeptical memes are memes that pair a picture of the popular streamer’s face with another picture and ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single mathematical framework capable of describing the entirety of the known universe.

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...
