Physicists have pursued the hope that equations involving an especially tiny "string" could provide the theory that solves nature's ultimate subatomic mysteries.

String theory, as it's called, has acquired a sort of fuzzy cultural acclaim, showing up in popular TV shows like The Big Bang Theory and NCIS .

Some physicists investigating these problems believe that string theory can help, since a string version of the Standard Model will contain additional math that could account for shortcomings.

If string theory is correct, fundamental particles of nature would not be the zero -dimensional pointlike objects of standard theory.

They would result from different modes of vibration of a one -dimensional string, either a loop or a snippet with ends attached to multidimensional spatial objects called branes.

Such strings would roughly be smaller than an atom to the extent that an atom is smaller than the solar system.
