ARTICLES RELATED TO String theory - History | | | |  String theory - History: Encyclopedia II - String theory - HistoryString theory was originally invented to explain peculiarities of hadron (subatomic particle which experiences the strong nuclear force) behavior. In particle-accelerator experiments, physicists observed that the spin of a hadron is never larger than a certain multiple of the square of its energy. No simple model of the hadron, such as picturing it as a set of smaller particles held together by spring-like forces, was able to explain these relationships. In 1968, theoretical physicist Gabriele Veneziano was trying to understand the strong nu ...

| | | | String theory - History: Encyclopedia II - String theory - Basic properties The term 'string theory' properly refers to both the 26-dimensional bosonic string theories and to the 10-dimensional superstring theories created by adding supersymmetry. Nowadays, 'string theory' usually refers to the supersymmetric variant while the earlier is given its full name, 'bosonic string theory'.
While understanding the details of string and superstring theories requires considerable mathematical sophistication, some qualitative properties of quantum strings can be understood in a fairly intuitive fashion. For example, qua ...

| | | | String theory - History: Encyclopedia II - String theory - Problems String theory remains to be verified. No version of string theory has yet made a prediction which differs from those made by other theories—at least, not in a way that could be checked by a currently feasible experiment. In this sense, string theory is still in a "larval stage": it possesses many features of mathematical interest, and it may yet become supremely important in our understanding of the universe, but it requires further developments before it is accepted or falsified. Since string theory may not be tested in the foreseeable fu ...
