Which Graduate Program Explores String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity?

AI Thread Summary
Graduate programs in theoretical physics are the most suitable for studying string theory and loop quantum gravity, as these fields extend beyond the standard model of particle physics. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a strong foundation in both general relativity and quantum mechanics for understanding these advanced theories. Participants agree that theoretical particle physics is a key area of focus for aspiring students. Overall, pursuing a graduate degree in theoretical physics is essential for those interested in exploring the unification of these complex concepts. Understanding the interplay between these theories is crucial for advancing in the field.

Hi everyone,
I've always wondered what's that fuss for unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics all about. I stumbled upon things like string theory(or M theory) and even loop quantum gravity( which I think is as good as string theory despite rumors).

My question is : which program at graduate level should you choose to study the whole of string theory and loop quantum gravity? I bet it is theoretical particle physics, am I right? (Because these 2 theories go beyond the standard model..?)

Yes, of course theoretical physics.
