For many years, people have attempted to develop an ultimate theory that would explain the fundamental structure of matter and the very basic mechanisms of nature. One promising candidate is string theory. Born in the late 1960s as a theory that was expected to describe the strong interaction in hadrons, string theory had to accept the fact that another theory, known as QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics), correctly describes the strong nuclear force and the properties of hadrons. A new face of string theory arose in 1974 when John Schwarz and Joel Scherk proposed an interpretation of the spin-two massless particle in the spectrum of string theory to describe the quantum of gravity, namely graviton. Ever since string theory has received great attention of many scientists, not only from high-energy physicists, but also from various other ¯elds of study and so a journey to the ultimate theory has taken a new direction.
