{{Cat main}} {{Commons category}} '''String theory''' is a branch of [[theoretical physics]] that attempts to build a theory of [[quantum gravity]] using one-dimensional strings rather than zero-dimensional point particles as fundamental building blocks. The name ''string theory'' is somewhat of a misnomer since the modern theory also includes higher dimensional objects known as [[Membrane (M-theory)|branes]].
