Scientists only, please - pseudo-ones, if must be, but no religious exponent. Thank you.

Religious exponent, that's funny.

Are you talking about Superstring Theory? No, we are far from sure that the theory makes sense. Some have compared it to saying that little green men could be living on the surfaces of protons, you can't prove either one.

The large hadron collider will come on line by next year and one of its purposes is to explore super-symmetry. If this new super-collider can find some of the super-symmetric partner particles that are predicted by string theory, then it will certainly be a shot in the arm for string theorists. We shall see.

The latest theory about the beginning of the universe involves the collisions of membranes (branes) in multi-dimensional space. I'm not sure what you are talking about when you talk about a "vibrating" creation. Has someone come up with something new in the last day or two ?

We live in a quantum universe,
String theory postulates tiny closed loops that vibrate.
If this was the case the continually varying size would not be a quantum entity and there could be no smallest size,without which a quantum universe could not exist.

We (they) are fairly sure the theory "makes sense" (logical people came up with it, using reasonable power of deduction).

They are less sure about whether it is an accurate explanation of the operation of the universe.

I assuming you mean string theory - no, we still need to test it. And we will. Wait for results from LISA and the Large Hadron Collider.

As much sense as the other theories.

Hi. No, but it fits the mathematics are well as anything else we have hypothesized.
