Sinopsis

String theory has been the leading candidate over the past years for a theory that consistently unifies all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity. In a sense, the theory predicts gravity and gauge symmetry around flat space. Moreover, the theory is UVfinite. The elementary objects are one-dimensional strings whose vibration modes should correspond to the usual elementary particles.
