What is the primary subject of string theory?

  • Particle Collisions

  • Quantum Strings

  • Cosmic Inflation

  • Nuclear Fission

Answer

String theory proposes that the point-like particles of particle physics are not truly points, but rather one-dimensional objects called strings. These strings vibrate in different ways, and these vibrations give rise to the different types of particles we see in nature. String theory is still a work in progress, but it has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
