Gromov-Witten invariants are important in String Theory, the physical theory according to which elementary particles are tiny strings, instead of points, as was believed since Newton. String theory is the best candidate for the so-called Theory of Everything, which unifies all physical theories, in particular Einstein's theory of relativity and the quantum field theory.

Gromov-Witten不变量在弦论中很重要，根据弦论的物理理论，基本粒子是微小的弦，而不是像牛顿那样认为的点。弦理论是所谓的万物理论的最佳候选者，万物理论统一了所有的物理理论，特别是爱因斯坦的相对论和量子场论。
