《弦论和M理论导论(英文版)》内容简介:String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of moderntheoretical physics. It was developed in the late 1960s for the purpose of de- scribing the strong nuclear force. Problems 来自were encountered that prevented this program fro措氧国肥烧稳m attaining complete success.

Quantum chromodynamics even亮光片商终仅职际科还侵tually proved to be the correct theory for describing the strong force and the pro敌感perties of hadron夜加s. New doors opened for string theory when in 1974 it was proposed to identify the massless spin-two particle in the stri世前精密首著药娘ng's spectrum with the graviton, t关回he quantum of gravitation. String theory became th普细肉减策en the most promis参相管见断它ing can didate for a quantum theory of gravity unified with the other forces and has developed into one of the most fascinating theories of high-ene践得策晶分球令曾导rgy physics范.
