May 16, 1948 edition of Yishuv newspaper The Palestine Post, soon renamed into The Jerusalem Post. ... Theoretical physics attempts to understand the world by making a model of reality, used for rationalizing, explaining, and predicting physical phenomena through a physical theory. There are three types of theories in physics: mainstream theories, proposed theories and fringe theories. ... String theory is a physical model whose fundamental building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects (strings) rather than the zero-dimensional points (particles) that were the basis of most earlier physics. ... Fuld Hall The Institute for Advanced Study is a private institution in Princeton Township, New Jersey, designed to foster pure cutting-edge research by scientists in a variety of fields without the complications of teaching or funding, or the agendas of sponsorship. ...

• papers from the early 1990s about the application of holomorphy to calculations in gauge theories with supersymmetry
• articles about the strong-weak duality (S-duality) in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories
• papers written with Edward Witten about the complete solution of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions
• a proof that Matrix theory describes M-theory in the Discrete Light Cone Quantization
• his and Edward Witten's analysis of the appearance of non-commutative geometry in theories containing open strings, and an identification of a low energy limit of open string dynamics as a noncommutative quantum field theory
• OM-theory (with Andrew Strominger and Shiraz Minwalla)
• gluino condensation in superstring theory

Gauge theories are a class of physical theories based on the idea that symmetry transformations can be performed locally as well as globally. ... In theoretical physics, S-duality (also a strong-weak duality) is an equivalence of two quantum field theories, string theories, or M-theory. ... Edward Witten at Harvard University Edward Witten (born August 26, 1951) is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and one of the leading researchers in string theory (M-theory). ... M-theory is a solution proposed for the unknown theory of everything which would combine all five superstring theories and 11-dimensional supergravity together. ... Edward Witten at Harvard University Edward Witten (born August 26, 1951) is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and one of the leading researchers in string theory (M-theory). ... In mathematics, there is a close relationship between spaces, which are geometric in nature, and the numerical functions on them. ... An open string is a one-dimensional fundamental object in string theory that has two end-points, and therefore is topologically equivalent to a line interval. ... Noncommutative quantum field theory (or quantum field theory on noncommutative space-time) is a branch of quantum field theory in which the spatial coordinates1 do not commute. ... American theoretical physicist who works on string theory. ... Categories: Stub ... A gluino is a subatomic particle, the fermion superpartner of the gluon predicted by supersymmetry. ... Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the particles and fundamental forces of nature in one theory by modeling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings. ...
