superstrings

Superstrings are a theoretical framework in physics that suggest the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not point particles but tiny, vibrating strings. These strings can oscillate in different ways, giving rise to the particles and forces we observe, including gravity. Superstring theory also incorporates a principle called supersymmetry, which posits a relationship between particles with different properties, helping to unify all fundamental interactions. While still a theoretical model awaiting experimental confirmation, superstrings aim to provide a single, consistent explanation for the nature of matter, energy, space, and time.
