Introduction: This event is a fulldome lecture in the planetarium. Mr. Yue Wai Chun, head of the Hong Kong Astronomical Society's occultation section, was invited to explain string theory, a cutting-edge theoretical physics concept at the forefront of humanity's quest to understand the universe. What is the Standard Model of particle physics? What are the most fundamental units of all microscopic particles in the universe? Can the four fundamental interactions in nature be unified and explained? Can humanity discover a unified theory that reconciles matter and fundamental interactions? This lecture will narrate our journey of understanding the universe in accessible language.
