Some of the world’s greatest physicists couldn’t tell you why our leading theory of everything is labelled “M” Is there an answer? I ARRIVED at the Harvard Science Center and made my way to the fifth ...

Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...
