String Theory: A Tool for Understanding Gravity and Quantum Mechanics
31:16 - 35:48 (04:32)
String theory is not a subject in itself but rather a quantum mechanical system that helps physicists understand the connection between gravity and quantum mechanics, as it provides a mathematically precise framework for both to exist in a consistent way.
