Physicists to mark 20th anniversary of first string theory revolution

Twenty years have passed since the first superstring revolution started in the Aspen Center for Physics in Colorado. Approximately 75 scientists will meet for a symposium at the center Aug. 12 to celebrate the revolution, including Jeffrey Harvey, the Enrico Fermi Distinguished Service Professor in Physics at the University of Chicago. Harvey will present the symposium's opening address, titled "The impact of the '84 revolution on physics, or how I learned to stop worrying and love superstring theory."
