М-теорија

Во теорија на физиката, М-теорија е продолжеток на теоријата на жиците при што се идентификуваат 11 димензии. Поборниците на оваа теорија веруваат дека теоријата за 11 димензии ги обединува и ги заменува сите пет теории на жиците. Иако не е познат целосниот опис на теоријата, се знае дека динамиката на ниската ентропија е супергравитација која делува заедно со две и пет димензионални мембрани.
