My work on symmetries of string theory is on what is known as strong-weak coupling duality, or S-duality. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
The beauty of science is to imagine more than we can prove. And string theory gives you a radically different interpretation of the universe. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
In theoretical physics, one can, in principle, work from anyplace as long as one has a computer and Internet connection. So I do not find any disadvantage of being in Allahabad. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
Theoretical physics hardly requires any research funding, so I never felt the need. The overall government and institutional support has been good enough for my work. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
One of the main successes of string theory is that it has been able to unify the general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, and quantum mechanics. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
To me, the most exciting thing about the discovery of the Higgs particle is that its existence was predicted fifty years before its discovery through experiment. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
The beauty of string theory is that it is all about mathematics. For that, you don’t need resources or labs. Just sit in your room and do the maths. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not particles but one-dimensional objects, that is, strings. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
