One interesting area of research in theoretical physics is the theory of superstrings. Its main premise is simple: the nature's most fundamental constituents are not point-like particles, but tiny vibrating strings. If this theory is successful, it may provide a unified quantum mechanical theory of all the know types of matter and forces. The theory is so complex that we are still a long way from its detailed understanding, but there are many encouraging signs. In the coming years Dr. Klebanov is planning to continue his effort aimed at understanding high energy physics and the quantum theory of gravity.

理论物理学研究的一个有趣的领域是超曲的理论。 它的主要前提很简单：大自然最基本的成分不是点状的颗粒，而是微小的振动字符串。 如果该理论成功，它可能会为所有知识类型和力量提供统一的量子机械理论。 该理论是如此复杂，以至于我们距离其详细理解还有很长的路要走，但是有许多令人鼓舞的迹象。 在未来几年中，克莱巴诺夫博士计划继续他的努力旨在了解高能量物理学和量子重力理论。
