String Theory provides us with a scientific explanation for the forces of the unknown and allows us to perceive a world far more complicated than the reality we’ve grown to love. Some call it the theory of everything, while others fearfully deny its accuracy. The String Theory goes as far as to describe the electromagnetic forces, as well as the weak and strong nuclear forces, and gives a scientific description of a microscopic reality we may never have imagined.
String theory gives answers to the questions leading scientists have been asking for centuries. On Earth, nothing is what it seems. Everything has a explanation and a process behind it. Like a computer, the universe is connected through a form of code. It works like the microscopic world does, meaning the process implies a pattern. Patterns are no accident.
We’ve gone from thinking the Earth was flat to producing a theory that may just give an explanation for everything within our physical universe. It introduces the idea that within the atom, beyond the electrons and the quarx… are vibrating strings. These strings are simply harmonizing as a musical instrument would. The theory predicts a ten-dimensional hyperspace that gives a detailed explanation to the possibilities of outer worlds with entirely different laws, such as a world made up of entirely light.
Micho Kaku, string theorist and physicist, admits, “We were laughed at, being ridiculed and told that this wasn’t physics… it was science fiction. They compared us to the mystics, claiming there were ghosts and spirits. But, we got the last laugh because now the String Theory is taught in almost ever major university.”
Subatomic particles, according to this theory, are no longer believed to be tiny balls of energy; instead, the theory introduces them as strings. There are open strings and closed strings. Strings can break, combine, and vibrate. You get different particles depending on how the string vibrates, much like the notes of a string on an instrument. You get a different note depending on how the string vibrates.
See, open strings are attached to the membrane on which they exist in. This keeps matter contained within the membrane. Closed strings are not attached to their membrane; they are able to move away from it. These closed strings are able to move between dimensions. Following this theory, our human bodies are believed to be open strings, thus meaning we cannot perceive or see these other dimensions.
Senior Aaron Albright said, “This theory revolutionizes science as we see it today, and it breaks it down into a scientific understanding that brings a widespread span of theories on other worlds.” String Theory implies numerous possibilities for other worlds and an answer to the question, ‘What is truth?’.
