What does it mean to be to space-time? The seemingly simple question gets to the essence of twentieth-century physics and has ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

Moduli spaces form the mathematical framework for categorising the diverse solutions characteristic of string theory, providing a systematic means to parameterise the various vacuum configurations ...

of its present age and the presence of the galaxy string defies existing models, which can not explain how a string this big could have formed so long ago. This is the first time astronomers have been ...
