This picture show a graphical sketch of the space of quantum field theories in connection with string theory and quantum gravity: it is divided into two regions: the fertile landscape of theories which can be consistently embedded into quantum gravity and the swampland theories, which are inconsistent from the quantum gravity/string theory point of view.
