Can anyone tell me what would happen if a "string" (as in the strings in the superstring theory) for some reason had no vibration. Would it cease to exist? Would it just release all of its energy?
I'm not sure they can stop vibrating.CaptainGuevar said:Can anyone tell me what would happen if a "string" (as in the strings in the superstring theory) for some reason had no vibration. Would it cease to exist? Would it just release all of its energy?
In bosonic string theory, the string state without vibration corresponds to a tachyon. However, bosonic string theory is not realistic.CaptainGuevar said:Can anyone tell me what would happen if a "string" (as in the strings in the superstring theory) for some reason had no vibration.

Superstrings are a theoretical concept in physics that suggests that all particles in the universe are actually tiny, vibrating strings. These strings are thought to be the fundamental building blocks of the universe and could potentially explain how all forces and particles interact with each other.
Superstrings are different from regular strings because they are extremely small, with a length of about 10^-33 centimeters. They are also thought to exist in multiple dimensions beyond the three dimensions we are familiar with.
If a superstring has no vibration, it is thought to be in a state of rest or in a ground state. This means that it is not actively interacting with other particles and is not producing any observable effects.
Currently, there is no experimental evidence to support the existence of superstrings. However, they are a key component of string theory, a theoretical framework that attempts to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics. Therefore, their existence cannot be ruled out and they may exist in our universe in some form.
If superstrings are proven to exist, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It could potentially explain the origin of all forces and particles, as well as provide a unified theory of physics that combines both general relativity and quantum mechanics. It could also shed light on the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, as well as the concept of multiple dimensions.
