String theory meets QCD
String theory meets QCD
String theory began life in the late 1960s as an attempt to understand the properties of nuclear matter such as protons and neutrons. Although it was not successful as a theory of quarks and gluons, it has since developed a life of its own as a possible theory of everything – with the potential to incorporate quantum gravity as well as the other forces of nature. However, in a remarkable about face in the last five years, it has now been discovered that string theory and the standard theory of nuclear matter – QCD – might in fact describe the same physics.

Abstract
String theory began life in the late 1960s as an attempt to understand the properties of nuclear matter such as protons and neutrons. Although it was not successful as a theory of quarks and gluons, it has since developed a life of its own as a possible theory of everything – with the potential to incorporate quantum gravity as well as the other forces of nature. However, in a remarkable about face in the last five years, it has now been discovered that string theory and the standard theory of nuclear matter – QCD – might in fact describe the same physics.
