What's the string theory?

Question

And while you're at it what is the sponge theory?

Answer 1

String theory is a model of fundamental physics whose building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects (strings) rather than the zero-dimensional points (particles) that are the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. For this reason, string theories are able to avoid problems associated with the presence of point-like particles in theories of physics, in particular the problem of defining a sensible quantum theory of gravity. Studies of string theories have revealed that they predict not just strings, but also higher-dimensional objects.

Answer 2

String theory states that all fundamental particles are actually one-dimensional quantum objects called "strings," vibrating at different resonant frequencies.

The only reference I can find to "sponge theory" is the fact that deforestation (the removal of trees) prevents soil from absorbing rainwater, leading to severe flooding in deforested areas like Hispaniola.

Answer 3

A theory on which people believe vibrating strings are the cause of all matter. They are the smallest things in any atom making up the particles that builds up the atoms. The strings vibrate a different frequencys which gives different properties to particles.

Answer 4

string theory links quatum physics with theory of relativity, although it deals with concepts so small it can't yet be tested.

also called m theory

very confusing aspect. try searching in yahoo and bing. that may help!
