  • String theory

    What is it? Is it just mathematical doodling? Or real physics?

      Silly string?

        According the the phisicists, they themselves are not sure whether it's philosophy or science (or so they said on a youTube video that was linked to in the 'warp' thread )

              It also serves as the basis for a lot of very bad science fiction stories.

                        I am currently in the mathematical camp. It is good mathematics though.

                          Really? I'm sorry then.

                          So, could you explain to me what string theory has to do with the complexities of the atom?

                          I've never understood how come the electrons in an atom don't fly away. Do the strings hold them together?

                            i dont remember. it was a long time ago. something to do with microscopic gravity. and if the solar system was an atom a string would be as small as a normal sized tree. i really dont remember. everythings made up of teeny tiny strings.

                              But that program was created by people who bleive string theory is real.
