Proposition about the nature of sub-atomic particles (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

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

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
