String Theory
I recently watched this interesting documentary on String Theory. It is now proposed as a "Theory of all theory".
The reason it has gained acceptance is because of its mathematical clarity. Initially there were like 5 different versions of string theory and it was explained with 10 dimensions. Later in 1995 another dimension was added and all different versions were proved to be same in a conference at Southern California and this unification is actually called M Theory. Though no one is sure what M stands for.This has breathed new life into otherwise not so popular theory in its fledgling years.
The disputant of this theory usually argue this theory by saying that there is no way to verify this theory. Because what thing theory assumes is that the proton and neutrons are actually made up of very very tiny strings of vibrating energy, which is not observable. So in a way string theory claims that all things are made up of energy. Which kind of now appeal to spiritual people also that all things are just energy. The string theory at present no more confides to just strands of energy
String theory has brought new ideas of existence of Parallel universe, Verification of Big Bang theory, Graviton particles and S particles and the scientists now at Fermi lab are busy finding the Graviton particles which they believe will be release in fast collision of subatomic particles. graviton are believed to be circular strings of vibrating energy. The race is on to how discover these first. Competing scientists at CERN laboratories are building another particle accelerator near the border of France and Switzerland which is billed to be 7 times better than one at Fermi labs. So its a wonderful point in history of mankind that we are standing close to a remarkable breakthrough in understanding of our universe. Will string theory be the answer ? lets hope it is.
