  String theory corresponds to a theoretical (As the name implies) framework introduced in physics. This framework share similarities with particle physics, as it presents point like particles (from particle physics) as one-dimensional objects, these objects are said to be string. They are stored in the framework described above. String theory describes the behavior of these strings through space. It also determines how these strings interact with each other. It a string is observed on a larger scale than standard string scale, it may look very similar to any ordinary particle. The particle that is being observed will hold mass, charge and other string properties that are determined according t their vibrational state. Graviton is corresponded by one of many vibrational states of string theory. Graviton is simply said to be a quantum mechanical particle, which is responsible for carrying gravitational force. According to this statement, it can be said that string theory focuses mainly on quantum gravity thus it is a theory of quantum gravity. 
  The main goal of string theory is an attempt in order to address in-depth questions about fundamental physics. It is said to be a broad subject that holds a wide range of concepts. Concept of black hole, cosmology, nuclear physics, matter physics etc are some of those concepts in which string theory is applied in order to solve a variety of questions. In the field of pure mathematics, many developments are carried out successfully by the application of string theory. String theory is said to be a theory for everything, since it contains descriptive concepts of gravity and particle physics. It literally covers all fundamental forces and concept of matter physics, which makes it a self-contained mathematical structure. 
  Despite the theory being too much descriptive you may face certain challenges while trying to practically apply the theory. One of the major reasons behind these problems is that this theory does not contain a perfect definition that can be applied in all the situations and circumstances. It becomes complicated to develop particle physics theory based on string theory, since string theory describes a number of landscapes of possible universes. This fact can be determined as another limitation in application of string theory. As a response to these limitations, many communities criticize this theory for its various approaches in the field of physics. Many theorists and experts also question about the legality of the research that is being continued while using string theory as a base.

  As a healthcare provider, do you feel frustrated and fatigued with an impersonal, administrative-heavy system where you don’t feel your opinion matters? Do you feel powerless to effect change? You’re not alone! Provider burnout is rampant due to bureaucratic overload, long work hours, and the lack of community, respect, and autonomy at work. But these issues can be addressed without significant expense or a major system overhaul. Dr. John McB. Hodgson’s approach to healthcare change re-empowers healthcare providers to do what they love to do—care for patients, solve problems, and influence the delivery system. In Healing the System, Dr. Hodgson draws on his experience as a seasoned cardiologist to suggest easy-to-implement changes that healthcare providers and administrators can make to combat the increasingly dysfunctional environment typical of current practice. These simple changes can bring a sense of fulfillment, joy, and satisfaction back to the practice of medicine, and the entire system will be energized. Hodgson’s solutions includegetting back to missional purpose, rather than focusing solely on the numbers;empowering teams and community;encouraging equity in the place where providers practice;involving providers in administrative functions and decision making; andhonoring one another, no matter the position or the department.The message in this book encourages physicians and other healthcare delivery professionals to create an environment and culture in which everyone can thrive.

  This remarkable philosophical and investigational effort focuses on giving the listener a historical sense of the fascinating relationship between the development of science and religious thought. Though by today's standard it is of course a bit embryonic (science has moved on so much since Galileo, and even since Einstein) it is still captivating and essential listening for those interested in both the spiritual and the scientific.
