String Theory

Categories: Science | Astronomy | Physics
    • Is hoped to be vindicated as The Theory Of Everything
    • Related to M-Theory
    • Suggests the possibility of eleven spacetime or more dimensions
    • Includes both open and closed strings
    • Also known as superstring theory
    • Has yet to be proven true or untrue
    • Suggests that there are 11 or more dimensions
  • 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, but 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
