String theory gives physicists reason to believe that particles are 1-dimensional strings because the theory has a purpose - unifying gravity with the gauge theories.
So why is it that it's popular belief that particles are 0-dimensional points? Was there ever a proposed theory of them being like this? And why?
What reason do physicists have to believe that particles are 0-dimensional points as opposed to 1-dimensional strings?
