What is your opinion on the Superstring theory?

While completely off topic here, I think I may need to start a thread about professor tales of the strange but true.

Half of what I think I know, I learned in forums like able2know Is anyone impressed with my credentials? Neil

This is an odd statement. Theories explain available data, that is why they change. New observations (data) become available.

You never fit your data to your theory, if that were the way it worked than the "scientific" creationists have it right and all reputable researchers regard that as a classic example of a pseudo science.

Hi, thanx for the replies. Truth is I don't know much on the subject, so I'm here to find out what you guys think of it and hopefully learn something new. Superstring sounds pretty interesting at first glance, and some have already begun calling it the "theory of everything."


From this site: http://superstringtheory.com/basics/basic5.html ,
it seems as if there are 5 different superstring theories, but they're also saying that it might just be different ways of looking at the same concept. They're calling this "the second string revolution".



How will they find out if the strings exist? By detecting supersymmetry?




Not too enthusiastic?

It kinda does seem like a conceptual trick, but hey it could probably work.
The first string theory didn't quite work, and there were a lot more dimensions which was problematic, but this one might hold up to its promises.
Now we'll just have to wait for the "third string revolution". :wink:

I dont know why you dont understand? It is a simple question and oviously you need an answer! Thwe public isnt recruitying the theory for 1 estimated summary and that is all ! The scientists of yesteryear know the correct answers but arnt willing to participate withiin the posibilities of nature. Plz pm me if you need it be explained!!!

I TOTALLY AGREE


(i dont have a clue what your talking about)
