String Theory

String Theory is the most promising candidate for a theory of everything, which reconciles the physics of the smallest scales of nature, which is quantum theory, with that of the largest scales, Einstein's theory of general relativity. In this talk I will give an overview over the basic ideas and novel principles of String Theory that illustrate how it solves the problems conventional theories face in providing a unified theory of fundamental physics and that have led to 50 years of sustained and successful research on String Theory.
