String theory and its current status in physics
00:00 - 02:00 (02:00)
String theory, which combines quantum mechanics and general relativity, was once considered the best candidate for a theory of everything but has fallen out of favor in the physics community as it has not made any novel predictions that could be validated by experiment. However, it remains a contender for such a theory.
