String Theory

Guide Note

In string theory it is believed that elementary particles, one dimensional string like objects, make up the entire universe around us. String theory is still developing and as technology advances scientists are able to accurately test some of the claims made by string theorists.

Glossary

  1. String: The basic object of string theory, base definition is an object with extent in a single dimension
  2. M-Theory: Theoretical unification of 5 superstring theories forming the master theory
  3. Superstring Theory: Theories built by modeling fundamental particles and forces as vibrations of supersymmetric strings.
  4. Brane: Objects similar to strings but with higher dimensionality
