• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the integration of twistor theory and string theory. In twistor theory, the location and time of events fluctuate but causal sequences do not. The idea was imprecise until string theorists realized an event with ambiguous location and time is a string. At first, string theory could only produce a single dimension of highly warped space. Twistor theory allows string theorists to show how all the dimensions of ordinary space and time can emerge.
