String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from stars and suns to apples and atoms‚ is made up of incredibly small particles called strings. Strings are so small‚ that if an atom were the size of our solar system‚ a string would be the size of a tree. There are six different string theories
