Fakta

String theory is a theoretical framework aiming to unify all fundamental forces and particles by positing that they are vibrations of one-dimensional "strings," rather than point-like particles. These strings, in different vibrational modes, correspond to various particle types and properties.

Key to string theory is the requirement of extra dimensions—beyond the familiar three spatial and one temporal dimension—that are typically compactified into small, curled-up spaces. These extra dimensions are crucial for the theory's mathematical consistency and to reconcile gravity with the other fundamental forces.

Central to its complexity are Calabi-Yau manifolds, complex multidimensional spaces used in the compactification process, influencing observable universe properties. Despite its potential to provide a unified framework for all physics forces, string theory faces challenges including mathematical intricacies, the lack of direct experimental verification, and numerous variant formulations.
