Is String Theory Unraveling?JR Minkel
String theory is the idea in theoretical physics that reality is made up of infinitesimal vibrating strings, smaller than atoms, electrons or quarks. According to this theory, as the strings vibrate, twist and fold, they produce effects in many, tiny dimensions that humans interpret as everything...
Is String Theory Science?Davide CastelvecchiNature magazine
String Theory Colorworks started out in 2009 with the fateful words "Hey, honey! Wouldn't it be cool if..?" Don't ever say such things to an engineer :) I started dyeing self striping yarn that weekend with the help of my husband, MacGyver-ski (as my mother calls him). With my ...
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helped power an experiment that might refute string theory. Experimentation in real life based on string theory is still pretty new, with much to discover. Scientists didn't find the particles they were seeking, which means one of a few different takeaways.Coul...
Since string theory shows diffeomorphism invariance and Weyl invariance, the path integral redundantly Integrates over all physically indistinguishable field configurations, thus introducing an additional factor. This factor is proportional to the measure of the symmetry group and, in reality, is infinite....

String theory is a theory of particle physics which proposes that elementary particles are comprised of one-dimensional strings which vibrate with certain frequencies. It has been in existence for about 40 years.Answer and Explanation: String theory is not widely accepted. There is a debate in ...
Here is where it can get a little tricky (though, let’s face it, all of string theory is a little tricky). If these strings exist, what are they made of? No one knows. One problem is that the particle (the string) is supposed to be the smallest, most fundamental unit that makes...
I compare the theory of intelligent design to string theory to see on what basis, if any, only the former can be justifiably excluded as being scientific.We shall see that the classic criterion of testability or falsifiability is sometimes not so straightforward, and that there are other ...
