String Theory Might Merge With the Other Theory of
Everything:
"Eight decades have passed since physicists realized that the theories of
quantum mechanics and gravity don’t fit together, and the puzzle of how
to combine the two remains unsolved. In the last few decades,
researchers have pursued the problem in two separate programs—string
theory and loop quantum gravity—that are widely considered
incompatible by their practitioners. But now some scientists argue that
joining forces is the way forward."
