In string theory, the string theory landscape (or landscape of vacua) is the collection of possible false vacua,[1] together comprising a collective "landscape" of choices of parameters governing compactifications.
The term "landscape" comes from the notion of a fitness landscape in evolutionary biology.[2] It was first applied to cosmology by Lee Smolin in his book The Life of the Cosmos (1997), and was first used in the context of string theory by Leonard Susskind.[3]
