Antimatters of Importance

[naomi_jay]

I'm a bit worried about superstring theory. If physicists haven't yet proved superstrings exist, why are they factoring it into so many of their attempts to find a unified Theory of Everything? What if they find a Theory of Everything that hinges on superstring theory existing, then discover superstrings don't exist? Would the universe fall apart? Would antimatter make a sudden resurgance and collide with matter and render us all to atomic dust?

I'm pretty okay with string theory. Working at a maths institute for over a year has assured me that string theory probably works fine. Superstring theory bothers me know. It depends on there being, like, six other dimensions besides the ones we already know about, and we can't prove they exist. And if they do exist, they're so tightly curled in on each other, we can't find them anyway. I have therefore concluded that superstring theory is not good, and physicists should find an alternative means of explaning the universe.

Listening to the pulse of the Universe'

It's really quite simple, my dear. Like us tuning in a radio to a particular station, we here, in this universe are radio one, and that's the only frequency we can 'see', where as there are tens if not hundreds more channels we know about (in theory) but just haven't tuned into...yet! :)

See, clear as mud!

Lol. If I have learn nothing else today, it's that I don't know enough about quantum physics.

But that's the fun of science, the discovery nature and the constant learning and search for what is, and what isn't.

Hope you have a great weekend, Hon!

That's quite obvious - you're still sane. Sanity and understanding quantum physics are mutually incompatible.

Here's an excellent BBC documentary full of String Theory, Super Gravity, the 11th Dimension, Membranes, the M Theory, the weakness of gravity, the Singularity, the Big Bang, and so much more… all to get to the concept of multiverses:

BBC: Parallel Universes

Enjoy! :)

SCIENCE!

I believe that one of the things stopping us reaching the Grand Unified Theory is gravity. It's hard to merge them with the other forces.

I'll have to ask my brother what he thinks about it all.

I got this new tarot card deck called the Quantum Tarot, where all the cards have been tied into various aspects of quantum physics, like string theory and quarks and stuff - it's so awesome! Now I want to learn!

That tarot deck sounds so cool!
