摘要
Assuming that superstring theory is the fundamental theory which unifies all forces of Nature at the quantum level, I argue that there are key limitations to the applicability of effective field theory techniques in describing early Universe cosmology.This article is part of the theme issue 'The future of mathematical cosmology, Volume 2'.
