What’s God got to do with it? Given that the majority of physicists are agnostics at best, I have always found it puzzling that my community is so obsessed with God’s mind, whether or not God plays ...

Physicists looking for a way to test their theory about strings might make more progress if they tangle them up. String theory — equations that aspire to explain all of nature’s particles and forces — ...

String theory, simultaneously one of the most promising and controversial ideas in modern physics, may be more capable of helping probe the inner workings of subatomic particles than was previously ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

I just started the Elegant Universe which is about string/superstring theory. Now, I haven't gotten that deep in, but I've looked up some of it on Wikipedia, and according to what I can see, there has ...

"On one side," says Jan Zaanen, "you have this refined, almost other-worldly intellectual — the perfectionist obsessed with detail, barely interested in earthly pleasures. On the other, you have the ...
