Is it a pretty good theory that's holding up or is it about to go down the drain?
dubmugga said:they say string theory makes no predictions...
...but doesn't it predict a fundamental building block of a 1d point/loop, the vibrational signature and dimensionality of which determines the nature of particles, elements, light, mass and gravity ?
only trouble is it can't be tested because we are eternally locked into 5 sense in 4 dimensions...

dubmugga said:you mean like some models don't predict a singularity, it just starts from there...
...isn't the proof for string in the maths and that is fundamentally sound, i mean isn't eveything maths based and as long as that stacks up then it's sweet ?
I don't get why it has to make a clear and unique prediction of the output of an experiment ?
...and just cos it doesn't people want to bin it in favour of what ?
surely there has to be some sort of fundamental minimum scale particle that operates string like in 4d ?
so perhaps a rose by another name...

Juan R. said:Effectively, string theory does not predict building block of a 1d point/loop, string theory begin from that postulate. But that postulate is WRONG. As proved in brane theory (yes people does not know it), the strings are NOT fundamental (string theorists were wrong) and the simplicity of 1d loops is missed.
Juan R. said:the strings are NOT fundamental (string theorists were wrong)
dubmugga said:...then what is ?
Is not the initial postulate proven by the sweet maths which then predicts a string like object ?
Is there no fundamental minimum scale building block or if there is what would YOU call it, how would you have it work and what would you have it do ?
me, i like bubbles, where a 3dsphere is the membrane made of light flickering on and off causing time and motion...
...but then again I'm just a simple know nothing dumbugga

I don't think it's enough to say something is a waste of time if you don't offer up something else to occupy one's time productively
a futile exercise as physics
M-Theory is a theoretical framework in physics that attempts to unify the fundamental forces of nature by incorporating concepts from both string theory and quantum mechanics.
M-Theory is still highly debated and considered to be a work in progress. While it has not yet been experimentally verified, it is a popular and promising concept among scientists and has gained significant support in the physics community.
M-Theory differs from other theories, such as string theory, by proposing that there are multiple dimensions beyond the four dimensions of space and time that we are familiar with. It also incorporates the idea of branes, which are multidimensional objects that interact with each other and make up our universe.
Currently, there is no direct evidence that supports M-Theory. However, some of its concepts, such as the existence of multiple dimensions and the unification of fundamental forces, are supported by mathematical equations and calculations.
If M-Theory is proven to be true, it would revolutionize our understanding of the universe and could potentially lead to a unified theory of everything. It could also have practical applications, such as advancements in technology and our understanding of the cosmos.
