Aspects of string Theory (AST)

Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2010,

String Theory is the most promising candidate for a theory of quantum gravity that we have. Indeed, it is hoped that it encodes all the physics we see in the experiments, and therefore it is regarded as a theory of everything. As such, it is believed that String Theory should give answers to some of the most fundamental questions, such as the nature of gravity, or the origin of the Universe. It is ...
