On the universality of string theory
Abstract
Description
String theory is accused by some of its critics to be a purely abstract mathematical discipline, having lost the contact to the simple yet deeply rooted questions which physics provided until the beginning of this century. We argue that, in contrary, there are indications that string theory might be linked to a fundamental principle of a quantum computational character. In addition, the nature of this principle might be capable to provide some new insight into the question of universality of string theory.
