Theorists have even identified a candidate for a consistent unified theory of gravitation and all the other forces: superstring theory.
Now, it seems, at least some superstring advocates are ready to abandon the essential definition of science itself on the basis that string theory is too important to be hampered .
Witten didn't invent superstring theory, which posits that the basic building blocks of nature are not tiny particles but unimaginably small loops and snippets of what loosely .
New 19-mile-long International Linear Collider will investigate the Higgs boson, dark energy, multiple dimensions The new 31-kilometer (19.2 mi) International Linear Collider (ILC) is finally ready for construction, according to CERN and the Linear Collider Collaboration. The ILC will initially augment the LHC's attempt to identify and characterize the Higgs boson, but in the future it could investigate new areas such as supersymmetry, dark matter and energy, and superstring theory, significantly advancing ...
