Cardiff University researchers who are part of a British-German team searching the depths of space to study gravitational waves, may have stumbled on one of the most important discoveries in physics according to an American physicist.

One of the most significant moments in the history of science may come after a new particle collider starts work this year beneath the Swiss-French border, according to a renowned physicist, Brian Greene.

By LAURENCE PHELAN The great white hope of theoretical physics, which might produce a unified quantum theory of gravity and thus equates to a theory of everything, is string theory. Accordingly, it is the avenue down which the majority of research and funding has been going for the last few decades.
