Long String Theory: Unveiling the Universe's Secrets

In summary, the long strings theory is a concept in particle physics based on string theory, where the characteristic length scale of strings is assumed to be on the order of the Planck length. These strings are believed to be the fundamental building blocks of the Universe and are described as oscillating long flat strings with a width of 10^-95 meters. The theory suggests that the expansion of the Universe is the result of the splitting and elongation of these strings, with the intersections forming nodes. The tension force of the strings is constant and equal to the Planck force, and their speed of vibration is constant at the speed of light. The number of these strings is related to the fine structure constant, and the theory predicts changes in fundamental constants and

In theories of particle physics based on string theory, the characteristic length scale of strings is assumed to be on the order of the Planck length, or 10−35 meters.

I am sure few people have heard about the long strings theory.

If there is information on the topic big request to share it, please.

This theory presents the Universe as a set of oscillating long flat strings. Their length is equal to the size of the Universe, and the width is a quantum of length 10-95 meters. According to this theory, the expansion of the Universe is the splitting and elongation of such strings. The strings of mass and charge are perpendicular, their intersections form nodes. It turns out an oscillating surface, like the surface of the ocean. The tension force of the strings is constant and equal to the Planck force, the speed of propagation of vibration along the string is constant equal to c.
The variable number of such strings Nm and Nq is in a certain relation related to the fine structure constant by alpha = 2pi * Nm/Nq^2

Predictions of this theory are a change in some fundamental constants (for example, an increase in the value of the Planck constant) and the heating (not cooling) of the universe with an increase in its age.

I only have a link to a popular science article. It does not meet the requirements of the forum. Perhaps someone has links to sources with the required level of trust.

1. What is Long String Theory?

Long String Theory is a theoretical framework that attempts to explain the fundamental nature of the universe by incorporating the principles of both general relativity and quantum mechanics. It proposes that the universe is made up of tiny, one-dimensional strings rather than point-like particles.

2. How does Long String Theory differ from other theories of the universe?

Unlike other theories, such as the Standard Model and General Relativity, Long String Theory attempts to reconcile the principles of general relativity and quantum mechanics by proposing that all particles in the universe are made up of tiny strings rather than point-like particles. It also suggests that the universe has more than the four dimensions we are familiar with.

3. What evidence supports Long String Theory?

Currently, there is no direct evidence that supports Long String Theory. However, it is a mathematically consistent theory that has the potential to explain some of the most fundamental questions about the universe, such as the nature of gravity and the existence of multiple dimensions.

4. How does Long String Theory relate to the concept of a multiverse?

Long String Theory is often used to explain the concept of a multiverse, which suggests that there may be multiple universes beyond our own. This theory proposes that these universes could exist in different dimensions and be governed by different physical laws.

5. Is Long String Theory testable?

At this time, Long String Theory is not directly testable. However, scientists are working on ways to test some of its predictions, such as the existence of extra dimensions, through experiments at high-energy particle accelerators. Additionally, some aspects of the theory may be indirectly tested through observations of the universe and its properties.
