DESCRIPTION:In spite of its striking successes the standard model of parti
 cle physics has obvious shortcomings\, most notably its inability to deal 
 with a consistent quantum version of our leading theory of gravity\, Einst
 ein's General Relativity. I will explain in simple terms a new framework i
 n which the concept of particles as point-like objects is replaced by that
  of vibrating quantum-relativistic strings. The almost magic properties of
  these tiny objects could eventually provide a finite and unified quantum 
 theory of all particles and interactions.\n\n\nOrganiser(s): HR-RFA\n\nhtt
