Call with the inside story; it may explain everything! (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

string theory

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it may explain everything' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'call with the inside story' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'ring'+'the'='ringthe'
'ringthe' inserted inside 'story' is 'STRING THEORY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for string theory that I've seen before include "Idea relating to subatomic particles" , "Cosmological hypothesis concerning all fundamental particles - retrying tosh (anag)" , "One idea in particle physics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
