Yes. When studying how the universe was formed, the Big Bang theory was proposed, in which the universe was believed to start off from a tiny speck smaller than a neutron, and it inflated and expanded up till today. (it is still expanding)

Anyway, quantum theory allows us to undestand what actually happened during the first few moments of the big bang, such as the formation of particles, why there are more matter than anti-matter etc., while string theory suggests that everything was made up of tiny 'strings', and perhaps the probable existance of other parallel universes and dimensions. (different types of string theory proposed different number of dimensions)

To look at it in another way, to study something that's huge and large, we have to start out small.=)
