Hi
I have heard that String Theory tries to connect QM with Einstein's world of gravitation.
String theory adopts an entirely different approach to explain nature. Does this theory contradict with QM? For example, all matter is composed of "Strings" instead of particles/waves.
Is there anything apart from this main reason (connecting QM and gravitation) that String theory is being given so much importance? Is QM threatened by ST in any way? Does ST have a future? I recently read in newspapers that ST was regarded as the worst theory ever proposed, as it wasted a lot of the precious time of physicists and mathematicians and has not been proved in the real world yet (as it contains far more than the normally observed four dimensions: 3D space and 1D time).
regards
Mr V
