''[[Bootstrapping]]'' here refers to 'pulling oneself up by one's bootstraps,' as particles were surmised to be held together by forces consisting of exchanges of the particles themselves.

In 2017 ''[[Quanta Magazine]]'' published an article in which ''bootstrap'' was said to enable new discoveries in the field of quantum theories. Decades after bootstrap seemed to be forgotten, physicists have discovered novel "bootstrap techniques" that appear to solve many problems. The bootstrap approach is said to be "a powerful tool for understanding more symmetric , perfect theories that, according to experts, serve as 'signposts' or 'building blocks' in the space of all possible quantum field theories".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wolchover |first=Natalie |date=23 February 2017 |title=Physicists Uncover Geometric 'Theory Space' |url=https://www.quantamagazine.org/using-the-bootstrap-physicists-uncover-geometry-of-theory-space-20170223/ |work=Quanta magazine |access-date=1 October 2021 }}</ref>
