String theory and quantum gravity are two interconnected fields of theoretical physics that seek to unify the fundamental forces of nature and provide a comprehensive framework for understanding ...

The research was done by Caltech’s Clifford Cheung and Aaron Hillman along with Grant Remmen at New York University. They ...

From the mid-1980s, string theory set up a possible framework to approach quantum gravity using a 'top-down' approach. The effective field theory approach to strong forces drove the development of ...

“String theory was developed for people to understand the physics of the strong interaction. [...] People started from a very ...

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and String Theory are two fundamental frameworks in theoretical physics that aim to describe the behavior of particles and forces at the most fundamental level.

Professor Oppenheim, along with Professor Carlo Rovelli and Dr. Geoff Penington, leading proponents of quantum loop gravity and string theory, respectively, have even placed a 5000:1 odds bet on ...

String theory proclaims ... the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity (which, as currently formulated, cannot both be right). String theory thereby unravels the central ...

The string theorists have a theory that appears to be consistent and is very beautiful, very complex, and I don't understand it. It gives a quantum theory of gravity that appears to be consistent ...

Professor Albion Lawrence's research includes quantum field theory and string theory, quantum information theory in quantum field theory and quantum gravity, early-universe cosmology, geophysical ...

Michael R. Douglas (Rutgers University, Piscataway, N.J.): "Superstring theory remains the prime candidate for describing quantum gravity and the other interactions, so it is all the more frustrating ...

including string theory, classical and quantum gravity, quantum field theory, holography, quantum information theory, hard condensed matter theory, quantum statistical mechanics, theoretical cosmology ...

While some attempts to give string theory predictive power are underway, many physicists are looking elsewhere. Whether in the form of loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical trangulation or ...
