String Theory Matches Gauge Theory?

Wow! What do string theorists think they're trying to do? Make the theory match existing experiments? What a concept! :)

Still, all kidding aside, this appears to be another major achievement for String Theory. A new paper in PRL shows that one part of String Theory can actually match some of the results from Gauge Theory. If this is true and verified, it would certainly be quite an accomplishment, and a feather in the cap for string theory.

Zz.
