Other possible theories (other than string theory) which are generalizations of the standard model with incorporation of gravity


The only finite mathematical framework that incorporates both the standard model of particle physics and gravity under one umbrella that I am aware of is string theory. I would like to know whether there are any other mathematical possibilities exist which do not depend on supersymmetry and still consistent with the standard model and gravity and produce finite answers. In a nutshell my question is: can there be any alternative to string theory? (Remember, I am not talking about only gravity. I am talking about gravity as well as other phenomena).

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
