What Is String Theory?Sen, Ashoke
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 everythin...
What is String Theory? Is it correct? Explain the String theory. Explain String theory. If the string theory is real, then what are strings made of? Has string theory ever been proven? Can the String Theory be proven? What is the string theory all about? What are its achievements? Is ...
“Fluctuating Geome-tries in Statistical Mechanics and Field Theory.” The first part is an introductionto conformal field theory and string perturbation theory. The second part dealswith the search for a deeper answer to the question posed in the title.1Electronic address: joep@sbitp.itp.ucsb....
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...
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...
The first part is an introduction to conformal field theory and string perturbation theory. The second part deals with the search for a deeper answer to the question posed in the title. Contents: 1. Conformal Field Theory 2. String Theory 3. Vacua and Dualities 4. String Field Theory or No...
Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory: a specific kind of elliptic curve from a torus.
However, she also offers a caveat: "Possibly the question to ask yourself is: how much agency am I giving this theory, explanation or belief? Am I allowing it to become part of my own story, acknowledging the power of my own choices and decisions as I do so? Or am I simply letting...
String theory is only a mathematical model and still lacks concrete experimental evidence to prove its accuracy. Even so, the model provides an elegant description of the fundamental components that make up the universe. It also predicts the existence of 10 dimensions that the strings can vibrate ...
