string theory? |
i mean what is it? everything is a string?
i would think you have problems with knots.

OK, I've thought about this many times.
Two issues.
How long is the string,
and how many knots. Touch anything that is
a length of something, and you get knots
no one could imagine how?!?!? combine
knottabbles and it's worse.
Yeah, I know what you mean, and it
fucks with me. Does not make any sense
how cables, string, or whatever ...

choose any enough complicated theory, and "fix" it, then you will be
able to fit
any experimental data that you want ... that's string theory ... it's
empty of elegance

What about string cheese?

I think the idea is that the fundamental particles are actually one
dimensional strings. Vibrations on the string manifest as either particles
or waves.
But which string theory? There are like five or so. They've pretty much
been absorbed by membrane theory, which has been shown to the only way to
reconcile the various string theories.

"membrane" theory is M theory, but M theory is not necessarily
"membrane" theory.
might be 'Mysterious' or 'some guy's name' that produces the M.
Hi, I'm Neils Bohr of the Planck Institute here to tell you about a
fabulous offer from Ronco. The new Quantum Fisherman fits in your
pocket. Take it anywhere.
Elegant Universe, that was great. The biggest thing I learned: That
the electromagnetic force is so much stronger than gravity....or is
it? We see Brian Greene jump down 10 floors onto the concrete, yet
the concrete atoms hold together with Electromag force. Gravity,
though, is like 1000s of times weaker, or he would break through to
the center of the earth. But part of string theory says maybe we are
only getting a taste of the gravitational force bleeding through from
another dimension, the other side of the 'membrane'.
