String theory is a theoretical framework in physics in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings, and it aims to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity.

In the early 1970s, Nambu independently discovered that the dual resonance model, originally introduced to describe hadronic scattering amplitudes, could be reinterpreted as a theory of quantized relativistic strings.

Susskind was one of at least three physicists, alongside Yoichiro Nambu and Holger Bech Nielsen, who independently discovered during or around 1970 that Gabriele Veneziano's dual resonance model of strong interactions could be described by a quantum mechanical model of oscillating strings.
