Conlon told Physics World that he wrote the book in order to “let the other side of my brain loose” after time spent writing formal scientific papers, and his dry, often acerbic wit is sometimes aimed ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the ...

Dr. Sam Toney's upcoming novel Revelation Equation merges authentic scientific principles with fiction storytelling, blending ...

String theory is simultaneously one of the best ideas in the entire history of theoretical physics and one of our greatest disappointments. Here's why.

A tale of two W's “Not even wrong” was Wolfgang Pauli’s ultimate put-down for any theory he considered wide of the mark. Here it is adopted by Peter Woit – a mathematician at Columbia University – and ...

The problem with string theory, according to some physicists, is that it makes too many universes. It predicts not one but some 10 500 versions of spacetime, each with their own laws of physics.

New Springer book, Saint Joan of New York, is a riveting novel of science and religion, whose heroine is determined to solve the equations of string theory.
