In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

To find evidence to back string theory, Joseph Conlon suggests looking for certain primordial gravitational waves from very early in the universe. Presumably, these would be stretched as the universe ...
