String theory is interesting for many bloggers because it revolutionizes new mathematical and physics postulates to co-mingle together. It is very unique in the unified quantum mathematical formulations. One of the most inclusive is the 11 dimensional "M" theory. This baby requires space time to achieve all eleven dimensions, as opposed to three spatial dimensions and the fourth dimension of time. Time keeps on slippin slippin slippin ... into the foooooooture!
My original string theories from the 1980s elaborate on special cases of the mystery eleventh dimension as being a very small circle ... or a "line", if you will, and if these formulations are considered as fundamental, then string theory requires ten dimensions. Are you with me? But anyhooo - the theory also describes universes like ours, with four observable space time dimensions, as well as universes with up to 10 flat space dimensions, and also cases where the position in some of the dimensions is not described by a real number, but by a completely different type of mathematical quantity. In layman or laywoman (hehee) terms, the notion of afore mentioned spacetime dimension is not fixed in string theory. It is best thought of as different in different circumstances, just as DCR has explained in his masterful science theater 7000 post, Ask dcr: String Theory
String theories include objects more general than strings. Lets call these "strings" Branes. The word brane, derived from "membrane", refers
to a variety of interrelated objects, such as D-branes, black P branes, and Neveu Schwarz 5 branes. Some physicists such as the legendary Doctor Shoal inject a few more, such as the Mush brane and the Del Boca Vista Brane. These are hyper extended objects that are charged sources for differential form generalizations of the vector potential electromagnetic playing field. Yes, objects are related to each other by a variety of dualities. Black hole mimicking black P branes are identified with D branes, which as everyone knows are endpoints for strings, and this identification is called Gaug Gravity Duality. Research on this equivalence has led Hollydale brains to fantastic new insights on quantum chromodynamics, the fundamental theory of the strong nuclear force. Use the force Luke, ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ber.As you can see, this explains black matter in space time by the strong force bleeding through inter-related dimensions. Gravity is not the weak force after all !

HA HAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!
So, you liked this one Mike?
I'm sooooo confused! I do know two things though. I like all the pretty colors in that picture, and when I was a little girl we used to grow string beans in our garden. Does that help in any way? HA HA HA HA HA!
Hi Speedy! Hope you are doing well. Happy weekend to you! :-) Hugs from Daisy.
I have a quantum blog that keeps phasing in and out of existence on the 10th dimension, but it's always there then I look at it. But what the bleep do I know? Gee, I wish my neighbor Schrodinger would let his cat out of its box now and then. Darn thing cries all day.
You lost me at, "String theory is interesting..." :) lol Just kidding! It was all fascinating! ;)
I think of strings like crazy rubber binders vibrating and stretching near light speed, and they taste like candy
I am totally into something like this. this is really new to me... I need more time to digest!
Thanks for sharing Speedy! I love the scientist Nakamura!!!! My Fav!
He is a GEEEENIOUSO!
All my human and I know about is the Silly String Theory, which is: if you want to keep your cat happy, never bring a can of Silly String into the house.
Very interesting indeed. Just goes to show you how weird and wonderful life is and that we are just now stepping out of the box to explore new and strange worlds within our own.
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
finally has an explanation as to why Cheeseburgers are doing a flyover of his backyard every other Tuesday
my friend said it best...
How can one assign a discrete succession of energy values E to a system specified in the sense of classical mechanics (the energy function is a given function of the co-ordinates x and the corresponding momenta mv)? Planck's constant h relates the frequency f =E/h to the energy values E. It is therefore sufficient to assign to the system a succession of discrete frequency f values. This reminds us of the fact that in acoustics a series of discrete frequency values is coordinated to a linear partial differential equation (for given boundary conditions) namely the sinusoidal periodic solutions. In corresponding manner, Schrodinger set himself the task of coordinating a partial differential equation for a scalar wave function to the given energy function E (x, mv), where the position x and time t are independent variables. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
LOL !
Gosh, who knew you were so ee-equals-em-cee-squaredy. Are you on a first name basis with Michio Kaku yet? Yeah, Michy and I go way back. We're like THIS (*holds two fingers up next to each other like a boy scout salute, or half of a vulcan live long and prosper greeting*)

Wait a minute... I think you're mixing string theory and M-theory. I think that once you go into 11 dimensions, that's M-theory territory and you're leaving string theory behind at 10 dimensions.
M-theory is more fun than a barrel of monkeys... with just as much anarchy! Yee-haw!
I am looking forward to reading and commenting on this post .... right after I get back from jumping from vector to vector .. . dimension to dimension ... via black holes.
Check out my gravity boots. Pretty cool, huh?
:) xoxoox
Thanks, dude! That explains it.
so i'm just curious, is the above equation for string theory or M theory?
