String Theory goes back to its Roots


Prof. Barton Zwiebach
Thu Jan 11, 01:30-02:30pm, 32-123

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

String theory began in the early 70's as a theory of nucleons.
Since the late 80's it has been our best candidate for a unified
theory of all interactions. In this talk I will discuss recent string
theory insights into nucleons. These include the description
of nuclear forces as theories of gravity and the analysis
of heavy nuclei collisions in Brookhaven.
