| Few physicists say they are looking for ways to falsify superstring theory. |
|
| Yet particle theories like Grand Unified Theories and superstring theory predict magnetic monopoles should exist. |
|
| In superstring theory, particles are not treated as particles at all but as oscillations in one-dimensional entities called strings. |
|
| The most studied superstring compactification is heterotic string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau space in six-dimensions. |
|
| His groundbreaking work in the areas of superstring theory, supersymmetry and supergravity has made him a leading expert on the topic. |
|
| The simplest way to examine a superstring theory is to go to what is called superspace. |
|
| There still remain unproven conjectures such as the finiteness and consistency of any superstring theory, past the first three terms of a certain approximation scheme. |
|
| According to superstring theory, to describe the motion of a string we need eleven dimensions, plus antiparticles and a mirror image of particles, called superparticles. |
