Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.
Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...
What is string theory: It replaces point-like particles with tiny vibrating strings, requiring extra dimensions to reconcile gravity with quantum mechanics. Why it matters: String theory could unify ...
