String theory is an ambitious project that seeks to provide a unified description of the fundamental physical processes in nature. The underlying idea is that the basic building blocks are strings rather than particles. String theory accommodates all the known forces, including gravity, and offers a resolution of the problem of reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity—something that has not been possible in particle-based theories.
