Can the Large Hadron Collider snap string theory?

Can the Large Hadron Collider snap string theory?

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known fundamental particles and three forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. Meanwhile, Einstein's general relativity describes gravity and the fabric of spacetime.

Scientists Hunt for the One Particle That Could Destroy String Theory

Deep beneath the Swiss countryside, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator is searching for something that could shatter one of physics’ most ambitious theories. Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are hunting for a single, exotic particle that would instantly prove string theory wrong. For decades, string theory has captivated physicists with its promise to […] The post Scientists Hunt for the One Particle That Could Destroy String …

Can the Large Hadron Collider snap string theory? – Meson Stars

One Mysterious Particle Could Break String Theory Physics today rests on two giant theories that… don’t get along. On one side, we have the Standard Model, which describes all known particles and three of the fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces).On the other side, there’s Einstein’s general relativity, which describes gravity and the geometry of spacetime. The problem? These two theories are fundamentally incompa…
