Alright I swear that I read in scientific american that Loop Quantum Gravity is trying to put fouth a new toe to compete with string theory. However in discussion with Marcus he told me that they are not trying to have any sort of theory that would lead to toe.
Part 2
I was reading in Pop Sci-- Journey to the 10th dim from March 2004 and it discusses a theory that needs 10 dim (similar to old string theory) needing Calabi-Yau manifolds. However as far as I know that only theory that needed 10 was string theory but since its transformation thanks to ed witten to M-Theory (Magic Mystery or Matrix... lol) they said it needs 11 dimensions. Then they discuss brane theory. Now I thought from elegant Universe brane theory was something that string theory predicted. However the article discribes it as something that string theory kinds of steals and uses because it fits nicely. They also discribe SuperSymetry in the same way, as something string theory just adapted.
I thought that it was something that it was predicted from string theory as well again thanks to elegant universe.
Part 3
Besides String Theory anyone name any other theories that are supose to lead to toe...
