USC scientists uncover a connection that could be a huge
boost to string theory
Two USC researchers have proposed a link between string
field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string
field theory — or a broader version of it, called M-theory — as the basis of
all physics.
“This could solve the mystery of where quantum mechanics
comes from,” said Itzhak Bars, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and
Sciences professor and lead author of the paper.
