String theory is a branch of physics that attempts to explain the fundamental nature of matter and energy by describing them as vibrations of microscopic strings. String Theory postulates that the basic building blocks of matter are extremely tiny, infinitely thin loops of energy, known as strings. According to string theory, the different types of particles in the universe (such as electrons, protons and neutrons) are actually different energy forms of these strings. By vibrating at various frequencies, these strings create other particles, resulting in the universe and everything within it. String theory is an attempt to provide a unified description of all the forces of nature, including gravity, and to successfully explain the very structure of the universe.
