Physicists from California Institute of Technology and partner institutions have shown that key features of string theory may emerge naturally from a few fundamental assumptions about the universe.

Using the mathematical bootstrap method, researchers found that constraints on high-energy particle interactions uniquely produced the characteristic “tower” of vibrating particles predicted by string theory.

The results strengthen the idea that string theory could be the only mathematically consistent framework capable of unifying quantum mechanics and gravity.
