String theory arose from attempts to model a phenomenon described in a paper published today in 1968 by physicist Gabriele Veneziano. Check out our video featuring Brian Greene, "Loose Ends: String Theory and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory" to join leading minds in theoretical physics through the twists and turns of string theory—its past, its future, and what it tells us about the search for the universe’s final theory.
