String Theory

Particles as Strings as tiny vibrating strands of energy-strings

Strings are identified as having a mass and charge as well as wavelength and frequency.

Scaled to the universe from Earth, the strings are only as big as a tree.

Extra Dimensions of Space

  • To allow for variety of properties particles and forces need to be vibrating in more than three dimensions.
Why Strings?
  • Unification Theories
  • Strings smooth out jittery structures and can work in both realms 
M-Theory 
  • Strings can stretch into membranes (d-branes)
  • with enough energy, a d-brane can be as large as a universe!
  • The universe may be a d-brane floating in a higher dimension
