Stanisław Lem, scrittore polacco di fantascienza, negli anni ’60 diede vita al personaggio di un fisico che lavorava a una “Teoria Generale del Tutto”. Da allora l’espressione è stata utilizzata, con vena piuttosto ironica, per definire le teorie super-generalizzate che puntavano a unificare tutti i fenomeni fisici conosciuti. Fino al 1986, quando il fisico britannico John Ellis pubblicò su Nature un <anchor>articolo</anchor> in cui parlava della teoria delle stringhe come possibile “teoria del tutto”. In grado di fare ciò che nessuna ipotesi fisica era riuscita a fare fino a quel momento: conciliare la relatività generale classica con la fisica quantistica.

## Abstract

Superstring models excite theoretical physicists because they may unite the four fundamental forces. These theories are formulated in a ten-dimensional world of extraordinarily high energies. Recent work indicates how superstrings may nevertheless relate to our four-dimensional world and to laboratory experiments.
