Superstrings
For the last 20 years of his life, Albert Einstein was something of an oddity in the physics community, like a beloved eccentric uncle whose favorite subject of conversation draws embarrassed looks around the table.
Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the Elementary particle and fundamental forces of nature in one theory by modelling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetry strings....

Superstring Theory

They would make closed loops or stretch across the universe and perhaps have an infinite length. Cosmic strings are not to be confused with superstrings, ...
But it may be, when the dust settles, that superstrings with 11 (or 10, or however many) dimensions will be the simplest available theory which accounts for the phenomena. It would, then, satisfy the Razor.
Unfortunately, attempts to deduce anything more quantitative or physically illuminating from the theory have bogged down in the intractable mathematics of this difficult subject. At the present time superstring theory remains more of an enigma than ...
