In August 1984, M. Green and J. Schwarz ushered in the latest revolution in particle physics with their discovery of mathematically consistent superstring theories. Since then, there has been a vast ...

Few fields of scientific endeavor are “hotter” than superstring theory. Despite a debate that has broken out between theoretical physicists over the substantiality of the field (see “Opinion,” page 9) ...

YOU are made up not of flesh and blood, nor even atoms, but infinitesimally small vibrating strings like closed loop elastic bands. It is also probable you exist in 11 dimensions, according to cutting ...
