A community portal about String theory with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: String theory is a model of fundamental physics whose building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects rather than the zero-dimensional points that are the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. String theorists are attempting to adjust the Standard Model by removing the assumption in quantum mechanics that particles are point-like. By removing this assumption and replacing the point-like particles with strings, it is hoped that string theory will develop into a sensible quantum theory of gravity. Moreover, string theory appears to be able to "unify" the known natural forces by describing them with the same set of equations.
