can anyone give a very short explaination of what the sting theory is?

Question

the theory of everything in the universe

Answer 1

I CONSIDER STING THEORY=STRING THEORY.

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. String theory strongly suggests the existence of ten or eleven spacetime dimensions[1], as opposed to the ordinary four (x, y and z axes and time).

The basic idea behind all string theories is that the fundamental constituents of reality are strings of extremely small scale (possibly Planck length, about 10-35 m) which vibrate at specific resonant frequencies.[2] Thus, any particle should be thought of as a tiny vibrating object, rather than as a point. This object can vibrate in different modes (just like a guitar string can produce different notes), with every mode appearing as a different particle (electron, photon etc.). Strings can split and combine, which would appear as particles emitting and absorbing other particles, presumably giving rise to the known interactions between particles.

Answer 2

According to superstrings, the universe originally existed in ten dimensions, not the four dimensions (three space dimensions and one time dimension) of today. However, because the universe was unstable in ten dimensions, it 'cracked' into two pieces, with a small, four-dimensional universe peeling off from the rest of the universe. By analogy, imagine a soap bubble that is vibrating slowly. If the vibrations become strong enough, the soap bubble becomes unstable and fissions into two or more smaller soap bubbles. Imagine that the original soap bubble represents the ten-dimensional universe, and that one of the smaller soap bubbles represents our present day universe.

"If this theory is true, it means that our universe actually has a 'sister universe' that co-exists with our universe." [Michio Kaku and Jennifer Trainer, BEYOND EINSTEIN: THE COSMIC QUEST FOR THE THEORY OF THE UNIVERSE, Bantam Books

Answer 3

String theory tries to model all elementary particle as oscillations of a "string." The string exists in multiple dimensions (up to 11) and includes dimensions for charge, mass etc.

Answer 4

I am going to presume you mean string theory (physics) ..... everything is connected to every other thing in the universe without interference from 4th dimension (time) so that things across other side of the universe can happen simultaneously

Answer 5

String theory says that particles are actually tiny loops (think cross-section of a hosepipe) that extend into a further dimension.
this explains the wave function of a particle as the particle could be in any position on its vertical axis.

Answer 6

now i did not know that there was a sting theory, or even an answer to it, its amazing what you can learn here, well done.

Answer 7

Basically, It states all things in the Universe are made, at their most basic level, is energy.
