It all started with a Big Bang. And also quantum mechanics, holographic universes and string theory. String theory — which is part of quantum mechanics — proposes that vibrating, 11-dimensional strings produce different particles such as atoms. They are delicately fine-tuned and balanced in order for life and complexity and structures to be able to form in our universe," Hertog said. "We want to understand, by studying the Big Bang, what makes our universe special."
