Topic: the String TheoryPosted: February 01 2013 at 11:26 |
|
I was having a conversation with a random dude who knew was talking about String Theory, about somthing I understood but i did not knew the term of it, like i knew what he was saying, i know stuff about quantum theory and also about dimentions and levels of reality which string theory is sort of about.
, as i had not stuck that name my head as of anything relevant, but i felt i did understood what he was talking about i was not familiar with the term string theory, so i went home and looked it up on Wikipedia, i did not read all of it but it is very interesting, and its basis is quite appealing in how to understand the univese and reality in how we perseve it, It also helps as a tool to connect the rules of nature, quantum theories, relativisme and the expation or withdrawel of the universe. I have a feeling it is sort of aiming for a grand understanding of things around us and our perseption of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory Edited by aginor - February 05 2013 at 19:53 |

Could you rewrite that, so that I can actually parse and understand it? And I don't mean the wikipedia article....

Eggs can exist in all time periods and alternate dimensions. However, their charateristics change depending on their location. In our existence eggs are food and contain DNA to produce more of the host lifeform. In alternate realities, eggs can only perform complex mathematical computations without the needs to raise a garden.

I like physics and I'm quite familiar with String Theory (not the technical formulations but the concepts yes) but I don't understand what are you asking.
String Theory sounded very promising in the beginning but a lot of people have been working on it for over 30 years and the more work is done the less it seems that it points in the right direction. It's time that somebody starts exploring other paths because String Theory seems to be a dead end, some nice mathematical coincidences and relationships but without any relevance to the physical world.

^ I was told by my Calc III instructor that the fourth dimension is time. Guess he was wrong.
Sorry for the digression. In all due honesty, I know nothing of The String Theory, but I ain't voting for the "12-string" option.

I don't think it's a "Theory of Everything", but it's really interesting to read about and watch on things like Nova.
I actually think it's really important for people to spend time considering something like this as much as they can. At least to watch something about it and be exposed to it. It really forces you to evaluate what you're doing. Broadening your awareness like that breaks you from routine and can put things into perspective.
