Ultimately, string theory remains a hopeful candidate for putting all the pieces of the cosmic puzzle together. If it works out, scientists could finally unravel the mysteries about how quantum ...

On the other hand, string theory is a powerful theory in search ... interesting and possibly detectable detritus, including cosmic superstrings. Although inflation was clearly the belle of the ...

Once dismissed, the cosmic string hypothesis gains traction with its ties to String Theory, providing a possible glimpse into higher dimensions. If proven, cosmic strings could serve as ...

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.

Cosmic strings, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, could warp space-time to create loops enabling backward journeys in time. 800 km² gone: Svalbard glaciers sound the alarm on Earth’s warming ...
