Iv'e scene the documentary about string theory and i just have a few questions about it.(laymen terms) : 1.How does string theory contribute to a unified field theory? 2.Is matter really made of "vibrationg strings"? 3.What does string theory actually mean or what has been the impact of string theory to our understanding of physics. thankyou ...

Hell all Some here may find difficulty with my claim that 'we shall never be able to exmaine the mind-brain barrier using the methods of science.' This isn't enirely unreasonable; there is a kind of case for suggesting that because of the (known, historical) capabilities of science -- especially of course physics, of which physicists have been known to suggest that it's the only true ...

looking at this thread, Has einsteins experient with time been proven, why hasn't it been applied or used ( 1 2 3) I've wondered if string theory and or QFT w/gravitons can reproduce time dilations, or changing time background. i understand how gravitons exchange can create an attractive force but I'm less clear as to whether this can also change ...

Does string theory include or say what is responsible for making strings vibrate? Also, why do the strings not all vibrate in the same pattern; what makes a string "choose" one pattern over another?

Now this it a good question. Not a interesting one, from the point of view of research, but it is not easy to work out the details. The scatering of a string against other string is still a quantum mechanical process, guided by a wave which will collapse with some probability at one angle or other, and will interfere even with itself etc... No changes, then, in the fundamental principles of ...

1.How does string theory contribute to a unified field theory? Lots of debate possible here: the interesting feature that originally launched string theory was the discoverey of a massless spin two particle within the theoretical math for other forces ...that's characteristic of the graviton so it was thought one mathematical framework might describe gravity,other particles, melding ...

"Does string theory include or say what is responsible for making strings vibrate?" I have not yet seen that....only that the math reflects vibrational energy patterns. It's not surprising on the surface anyway: I have thought of it reflecting Heisenberg uncertainty, like a particle confined in an ever smaller volume becoming more and more energetic... String vibrational patterns ...
