As for the dream that there's going to be one solution of string theory and it's going to be the real world, I think a lot of them have given up on that.

These days Einstein's once - lonely quest engages thousands of physicists around the world, most of them working on an ambitious physics framework known as string theory.

In 1996 Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa of Harvard University were working on the mathematics of string theory, a physics model that describes all fundamental particles as vibrating strands of energy, when they realized that a key property of certain black holes can be predicted by string equations.

As for basic science, it's hard because the groups that have the money could be at the philanthropic end and say, «I'd like string theory to happen in my lifetime, and I'd like to put my name on one of your strings or something.»

Steve: And one of the great things about the book is that it goes off on a lot of digressions as you just did, because you really do need a background in the entire history of physics, to a certain degree, to understand string theory, even at a relatively rudimentary level.

String theory has emerged as the most promising approach to unifying quantum mechanics — the laws governing very, very small things such as atoms, nuclei and quarks — with general relativity, which describes the world on a scale as large as that of stars and galaxies.

Where the forces differ is that electromagnetism behaves in essentially the same simple way on all scales, varying only in its general strength, whereas gravity becomes increasingly rococo as you zoom into microscopic scales — signaling that the theory eventually gives way to a deeper one such as string theory or loop quantum gravity.

Madhusree Mukerjee distinguished herself at Scientific American for the depth of her knowledge about string and related theory as well as the elegance of her news and feature writing.After she left, the trained physicist applied her writing prowess to a book on the Andaman Islanders and recently to Churchill's Secret War, a scathing investigation from a raft of primary sources that revealed how direct decision - making by Winston Churchill led to massive famine on the Indian subcontinent.Meet Madhusree in this recent interview in Harper's, in which she parries gracefully a series of sharp questions from interviewer Scott Horton.

During this BSA Distinguished Lecture, Andrei Linde explains how a new cosmological theory of an inflationary multiverse, which is supported by developments in string theory, would change accepted views on the origin and global structure of our universe, as well as where and how we fit in it.

That's the same value for climate sensitivity I've seen from the string theory physics site and from knowledgeable climate sites as well — it's the number people get this way: calculated in the absence of any feedback, on the hypothetical twinning of each molecule of CO2 in the atmosphere to make two where there were one, instantly, and having nothing else happen.

Originally inspired by the notion of super string theory — or «the theory of everything,» as it has been called — Hill operates from a position based on the scientific notion that all particles are connected over space and time, and creates a multi-dimensional artwork addressing the interconnectivity of all life.

The pieces on this show are covered with equations looking at ideas as complex as String Theory.

As Dr Wojick notes there aren't people deomstrating against string theory, and curiously, the AGU etc doesn't seem to have a «position» on it.

I would not trust his opinion in a matter where he has no specialized knowledge — such as climate change, string theory, superconductivity and so on.
