The Skinny on String Theory

How is a fundamental particle of nature like a note on a violin? The answer wriggles into view at the Official String Theory Web Site. Every such particle, one learns, be it a quark, electron, or something else, is a vibration of a type of ultrasmall, 10-dimensional entity called a string. Site creator Patricia Schwarz, a multimedia impresario with a Ph.D. in physics, explains the fundamentals of string theory and its history and cosmological implications in simple English with eye-catching graphics and abundant animation. Don't miss the audio clips of leading string theorists.
