How Does String Theory Work?
Intro
String theory is the first theory of physics that tries to explain everything. What does it mean to explain everything? We would know how the universe began and where it is going.
Quantum gravity
Modern physics has two basic scientific laws: quantum physics and general relativity. These two scientific laws represent radically different fields of study. " Quantum physics studies the very smallest objects in nature, while relativity tends to study nature on the scale of planets, galaxies, and the universe as a whole." (http://www.dummies.com/education/science/physics/the-basic-elements-of-string-theory/ 2016). One string, no particles
According to string theory, the subatomic particles that make up all matter- protons, neutrons and electrons- do not exist. Instead, these particles are replaced by small pieces of vibrating string too small to be observed by the technology we have in this century. Each string may be closed in a loop, or open as a line. …show more content…
To put it simply, string theory is like a guitar. A guitar is tuned by its tuning pegs stretching the strings of the guitar, and depending on how much tension is in being put on the string will determine the sounds each string makes. String theory is similar. How many dimensions are there?
In total string theory estimates to have 10 dimensions. The first four dimensions are: length, height, depth and time. The fifth dimension is theoretically a world very similar to our own with similar atmostsphere and landscape The sixth dimension is a plane of possible worlds with the same start conditions which majority of scientists believe to be the Big Bang Theory.
The seventh dimension is similar to the sixth dimension but is a plane of all possible worlds with different start conditions which are unknown The eighth dimension is a plane of All Possible Worlds, Each With Different Start Conditions, Each Branching Out
