My long term goal is to understand how to reconcile Einstein's theory of gravity with quantum mechanics. I investigate this using string theory, which is the best-developed theoretical framework currently available for doing computations of interest in quantum gravitational physics. String theory can manage this because it encompasses both the smooth spacetime geometry of gravity on large scales and the probabilistic uncertainty of quantum mechanics on small scales. In particular, it features black holes.

我的长期目标是了解如何调和爱因斯坦的引力理论与量子力学。我使用弦理论来研究这个问题，弦理论是目前在量子引力物理学中进行感兴趣的计算的最好的理论框架。弦理论可以做到这一点，因为它既包含了大尺度上引力的光滑时空几何，又包含了小尺度上量子力学的概率不确定性。特别是，它具有黑洞。
