    Summary:
    Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory
    rCothe idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating stringsrCo
    could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.
    Instead of assuming strings existed from the start, researchers began with a
    few simple rules about how particles behave at extreme energies
    and discovered that the equations naturally produced the telltale
    fingerprints of string theory all on their own.
