Introduction to M-theory

<p>In non-technical terms, <a href="/facts/M-theory/5KJgrr9P">M-theory</a> presents an idea about the basic substance of the <a href="/facts/Universe/XbfpnDmM">universe</a>. Although a complete mathematical formulation of M-theory is not known, the general approach is the leading contender for a universal "<a href="/facts/Theory_of_Everything/rpossh4t">Theory of Everything</a>" that unifies gravity with other forces such as <a href="/facts/Electromagnetism/oAkmALHT">electromagnetism</a>. M-theory aims to unify <a href="/facts/Introduction_to_quantum_mechanics/p57bzH1Y">quantum mechanics</a> with <a href="/facts/Introduction_to_general_relativity/jE1n8cLK">general relativity</a>'s gravitational force in a mathematically consistent way. In comparison, other theories such as <a href="/facts/Loop_quantum_gravity/6Xueeoux">loop quantum gravity</a> are considered by <a href="/facts/Physicist/cQcgvSIm">physicists</a> and researchers to be less elegant, because they posit <a href="/facts/Gravity/bqAN7DdQ">gravity</a> to be completely different from forces such as the electromagnetic force.
