    Graduate Is the number of strings constant?

    the dirac delta funtion, to my understanding, is that it is zero everywhere but at zero this is all i know about it though i am only 17 and would like to learn if you would EXPLAIN what it is and not just shoving me to the side like a wothless piece of knowledge. how can it be zero every where...

    High School A logical (and simple) explanation for (-1*1=-1)?

    You have negitives in the physcal world. Space itself could be consitered a negitive. Its not the absence of an object its the "hole" where something can be. If you have a ball buried in the ground so that a hole is made then you take the ball out of that hole you would have a negitive ball; the...

    Graduate Is the number of strings constant?

    if it is "pointlike" but not a point then just becuase its consitered a point does not mean it is. i still hold the same thought mass is a mesurement of three dimentions. in your next post if you disagree with this geive a reliable source.

    Graduate Is the number of strings constant?

    what kind of energy? It can't both have mass and energy if the strings have only one demention, mass is a three dimensional mesurement of lenth, width, and height. in order to have mass you need all three dimentions. you can not say that a two demention plane has mass because it is infintly...

    Graduate Is the number of strings constant?

    so vibrating strings of infinet volume and no demention can be spit and join together? and if so how can you "spit" something that has no dementions? or for that mater how can they join together if there litrally nothing. 0+0 is still 0 not 1 and vise versa... your answer causes more questions...

    Undergrad Black Hole Gravity: Mass vs Distance

    That "new perspective" on the power of gravity would be no different than the gravity we know now. It is only when we are watching somthing fall in do we notice a big change. i.e. "spagittifaction". If we fall into a black hole your perspctive does not change.

    Undergrad Black Hole Gravity: Mass vs Distance

    the gravity of a black is infinite at the event horizon and very strong for light years out. a black hole is a never ending hole in space and will gravitationally attract matter near the hole.

    Graduate What Is Beyond The Observable Universe?

    the universe is said to have four basic dimensions that make up our three dimensional space. There are another seven that deal on a subatomic level. This being said how can we philosophically call the universe infinite based on the information you provided?

    Graduate What Is Beyond The Observable Universe?

    If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear it, see it, feel it, or observe it does it still fall and affect its surroundings? Yes it does even though nobody knows about it. and if you go back to the spot at which it fell you could figure out what happened. So asking the questions...

    Graduate What are Superstrings made of?

    If superstrings exist then how do mathematical epuations show then are "nothing"

    Undergrad Black Hole Gravity: Mass vs Distance

    When a super massive star with a mass of ten or more suns collapses into a black hole gravity is powerful enough to collapse the atom structure its self. With the same amount of gravitational attraction as before but less volume gravity becomes greater in a volume to gravity ratio and grows to...
