Why do strings only have one dimension (or maybe branes have 2 dimensions)? Why aren't oscillating volumes (like a cube) used?
If strings are replaced with objects extended in more dimensions, then ultraviolate divergences cannot longer be removed (at least not perturbatively). This happens only for extension in 1 dimension.Pjpic said:Why do strings only have one dimension (or maybe branes have 2 dimensions)? Why aren't oscillating volumes (like a cube) used?
It is still not known how to quantize them consistently.Dmitry67 said:whats about n-branes?

Yes. They mostly use them as classical objects.Coin said:Hmm, but string theorists use them regularly anyway don't they?
Very interesting, thanks.Demystifier said:Yes. They mostly use them as classical objects.
Strings and blocks are both objects that can vibrate and produce sound. However, strings are typically one-dimensional objects, meaning they only vibrate in one direction, while blocks are three-dimensional objects that can vibrate in multiple directions.
The dimensions of strings and blocks play a crucial role in the sound they produce. The length, thickness, and tension of a string can affect its frequency and pitch, while the shape and size of a block can affect the quality and volume of its sound.
Oscillating volumes refer to the changes in amplitude (or loudness) of a vibrating object. In strings, the amplitude can be controlled by the musician through techniques like plucking or bowing, while in blocks, the amplitude can be affected by factors such as the material it is made of and the surface it is placed on.
In both strings and blocks, sound is produced through vibration. When a string is plucked or a block is struck, it causes the object to vibrate at a certain frequency, which in turn creates sound waves that travel through the air and reach our ears. The specific frequency and shape of the vibration determine the pitch and quality of the sound produced.
Yes, strings and blocks can be used together in music production to create a variety of sounds and textures. In fact, many musical instruments, such as pianos and guitars, use both strings and blocks to produce their unique sounds. Additionally, electronic music producers often incorporate both string and block samples and synthesizers in their compositions.
