When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that
every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's
theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling
us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And
the only candidate is string theory.

Two USC researchers have proposed a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory—or a broader version of it, called M-theory—as the basis of all physics.
Rather than use quantum mechanics to validate string field theory, the researchers worked backwards and used string field theory to try to validate quantum mechanics.
In their paper, which reformulated string field theory in a clearer language, researchers showed that a set of fundamental quantum mechanical principles known as "commutation rules'' may be derived from the geometry of strings joining and splitting.
