do you agree with the string theory?

Question

what for you makes it agreeable?

Answer 1

nothing agreeable about it except for th masses evergrowing attempt to explain everything with out acknowleding God. If this "theory" is plausible for you why not christianity?

Answer 2

No. I personally do not agree with string theory.

In advanced math there is tool that is commonly used called a Fourier transform. The idea behind a Fourier transform is that you can take any function you and turn it into a infinite sum of sin and cos functions. This is helpful because you can turn nasty partial differential equations into simple algebraic equations.

Throughout history physicists have come up with a number of theories that is some way assumes perfection in circles or natural harmonics of the universe. The most notable is the Ptolemaic geocentric model of the solar system. In essence all of this theories basically use a Fourier series to describe what is really going on. (Think about what sin and cos really are, they really describe circles). These theories are all capable of reproducing numerical results but they can not explain the physics.

String theory is no different. It assumes that there a multidimensional strings and each frequency is a specific particle or interaction. We may be able to make it match observations some day by adding more sins and cos but there is no reason to believe that the physics is right.

Answer 3

Well now it's the theory formally known as string theory. It now has "branes" in it. Like so many ideas, it's formulated on some pretty abstract math and there's no supporting documentation and it has tons of new particles. I've read a book by Lisa Randall of Harvard that explains it and it's really abstract. I still have problems with infinite numbers of universes existing. We'll see if they can prove or disprove through experiment.

Answer 4

Well I am in high school and I know a lot about String Theory.

The really smart guy you are talking about is probably Ed Witten, who unified string theory into the M theory.

I do not believe in the string theory because it can not be proven. The only way to prove something is by experiments, but this is something that cannot be experimented. This is why:

These strings are so small, visable at the planck legnth. To be able to see one is impossible. You would need a microscope the size of the milky way galaxy just to be able to focus that much energy into such a small point.

The theory also predicts extra dimensions (11 total dimensions), worm holes, and black holes. All things that have been theorized but never proven (yes, I know there is evidence, but it still has not been proven).

The goal of string theory is to unite the theory of relativity, with quantum mechanics. Mainly to unite all 4 forces into one framework. If it can not be proven experimentally, it isn't science, it is philosophy.

Answer 5

11 dimensional string theory has not produced anything.

It is possible that the extra 7 dimensions of space, (that are not perceived), are mathematical deception, and therefore string theory is a theory of nothing, as you will find if you read the wikipedia article on string theory all the way to the end.

Answer 6

I don't know very much about string theory, but if you can show that vibrating strings are the only possibility the you're in. Also, if you load a plausible assumption into your theory making machine, you can get interesting and possibly elegant results. The abstract thought will eventually outstrip
experimentation - it will go where no one dared to go . Eventually, theoretical physics sublimates into philosophy.

Answer 7

As yet, there is no string theory with which to agree or disagree. A lot of really good minds are working on it. Develop the skills yourself and join them, or just let them work on it. Agreeing with an incomplete theory is meaningless.

Answer 8

I know this is not a very good reason to believe something, but yes, I think string theory is correct and someday will be proven correct, because Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene do and I think they are some of the smartest men in the world and I pretty much love everything they do.

Answer 9

I'm in love with the string theory.
I'm not a student of quantum physics and don't understand the math behind it, but I find the principals very agreeable.

check this out for a show on quantum machanics


relligion----------- yup. I do not believe in god yet I believe in the string theroy. If I believe that then other theroies such as quantum superpositioning must be accepted as well. and that leaves plenty of room for GOD to exists.
So now, my eyes are open......

Remember though! math and logic led me to believe in a god, not the bible or any other holy book.

Answer 10

Have not seen the movie yet and I will watch the synopsis tomorrow and get back to you, however my tutor said this... really smart guy... it is no theory it is just an idea.
