Why do strings vibrate??

Here's nice explanation that is leading one to consider........?


The basic idea is that the fundamental constituents of reality are strings of the Planck length (about 10-33 cm) which vibrate at resonant frequencies. The graviton (http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Graviton) (the proposed messenger particle of the gravitational force), for example, is predicted by the theory to be a string with wave amplitude zero. Another key insight provided by the theory is that no measurable differences can be detected between strings that wrap around dimensions smaller than themselves and those that move along larger dimensions (i.e., effects in a dimension of size R equal those whose size is 1/R). Singularities are avoided because the observed consequences of "big crunches" never reach zero size. In fact, should the universe begin a "big crunch" sort of process, string theory dictates that the universe could never be smaller than the size of a string, at which point it would actually begin expanding

This is a very significant physical result because it tells us that the energy of a system described by a harmonic oscillator potential cannot have zero energy. Physical systems such as atoms in a solid lattice or in polyatomic molecules in a gas cannot have zero energy even at absolute zero temperature. The energy of the ground vibrational state is often referred to as "zero point vibration". The zero point energy is sufficient to prevent liquid helium-4 from freezing at atmospheric pressure, no matter how low the temperature.

We had to look for a way in which to interpret the graviton from one to the many, and if we do this, do you not think we could have describe the nature of reality, from events who are releasing energy?

The Q<-->Q (http://www.cerncourier.com/objects/2000/cernexotic1_9-00.gif) measure is a good example of the strings length and the distance measure. I'd have to be corrected here, but in this case it is not to hard to understand the field that is generated around this measure? If the nergy value changes according to the distance then what would have been revealled in the metric field. The energy increase in the distance would have found relevance to early supersymmetrical states, and definition in supergravity.

Fig. 1. In quantum chromodynamics, a confining flux tube forms between distant static charges. This leads to quark confinement - the potential energy between (in this case) a quark and an antiquark increases linearly with the distance between them.

Look for energy correlations between KK Tower and particle identifications in regards to those windings

How does the cylinder, become a boson(torus)?


I am open to correction.
