 French string theorists

"French string theorists" refers to physicists in France who specialize in string theory, a theoretical framework in physics that attempts to reconcile general relativity (which describes gravity) and quantum mechanics (which governs the behavior of particles at the smallest scales). String theory posits that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not point-like particles, but rather one-dimensional "strings" that can vibrate at different frequencies, giving rise to various particles and forces in the universe.
