String theory is the youngest and most abstract of the fundamental theoretical frameworks of physics. String theory expresses the hope that all the different forces, particles, interactions, and manifestations of reality are tied together as part of the same fundamental framework. Particles are tiny vibrating strings, and each type of vibration corresponds to a different particle. But a new article has shown that string theory is fundamentally incompatible with our current understanding of "dark energy," - which is the only explanation for the accelerated expansion of our current universe. The controversy, which even questions the Higgs boson's existence, has generated a lot of talk in the physics community.
In the next few years, the universe's accelerated expansion will be measured more accurately than ever before, allowing the hypothesis to be tested experimentally. More details about the debate and a more visual explanation of the problem go to the article: String theory: Is dark energy even allowed? For a purely physical approach, read the original article: de Sitter swampland conjecture and the Higgs potential.
