String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string.
So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of the theory that are lik… - Edward Witten
