String theory has been at the cutting edge of science for the past 50 years, if not longer. Unlike many theories that come and go this has remained at the forefront of the scientific communities’ mind, and has even bridged its way into mainstream culture and conscience.

So, everyone knows of it, but what is it?

Many physicists believe that there is a uniformity between the laws of physics, which means that they have the potential to be amalgamated into one beautiful, unified, theory.

The Wolf of Wall Street burst onto our screens recently, bold and brash and colourful; an affirmation of our love of big films with big budgets and even bigger characters.

A long, long time ago – in 1964, to be precise – a group of geniuses hypothesized that a particle, known as the Higgs Boson, could explain why the things that make up the universe have mass (weigh something). And, on July 4th 2012, the boffins at CERN announced that they had found the fabled Higgs Boson. Yes – just like an atomic game of Where’s Wally!

What really gets the birds and the bees going? Do the birds have high cheekbones or killer legs? Or is it that the bees have a sparkling personality and a great sense of humor? Read on, for I am about to reveal the golden rules of attraction, as proven by science and illustrated by billions of sweethearts.

Attractiveness has long been a source of fascination for psychologists, scientists, therapists – and singletons. A lot of time and money has gone into researching what makes us fall in love.
