摘要
We show that bosonic strings may be viewed as a particular class of vacua for N = 1 superstrings, and N = 1 superstrings may be viewed as a particular class of vacua for N = 2 strings. Continuing this line of string hierarchies, we are led to search for a universal string theory which includes all the rest as a special vacuum selection.
