Where do superstrings come from and what makes them vibrate, to begin with?

Answer 1

They come from the minds of brilliant mathematicians that need the entire universe as a playing field, and vibrate because they just have to dance. Superstrings are the original instruments that were plucked to produce the symphony that continues to be heard as the cosmic background soundtrack that originated with the Big Bang.

Answer 2

Superstring / M-brane theory is a science in its infancy. There is not yet a complete or accepted theory.

It's not appropriate to speak of strings as things that vibrate, the strings are just a name for the vibrations. Even string theorists don't talk about what they are. They are mathematical constructs.

Where did they come from? That's the same question as where did the universe come from. The answer is somewhere between intersecting M-branes and 'we have no clue.' Even Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" doesn't say how, or even whether it was 'ex nihilo' (from nothing) or from something else. The only accurate answer is that we don't know.

Answer 3

This question is way more advanced than I'm qualified to answer. According to De Broglie, everything in the universe is vibrating. What allows vibrations to acquire material elements depends on the frequency and fixture. They begin vibrating, because that is all that is found at the atomic scale. When a measurement takes place, the probability drops to zero of it being elsewhere. Autonomous balls of energy are not what exist on the Quantum. In fact, the nucleus can easily be thought of as a collection of waves. In Rutherford's experiment, the size of the vibration is enough to whip the incoming alpha like a surfer wiping out. QM is the real defining portion of why they vibrate at certain frequencies or not at all.

Answer 4

The superstring theory is nothing but farse. It's saying that strings are the answer all theory. It has been proven wrong just a couple years ago.
