I often think about this subject, would it be a fair assumption to say that our electronic bits are a equivalent and more simple "thing" of that we assume to be the more elementar "particle" of the universe, a string, acording to the theory, it is the vibrating state of certain string that defines all the other greater particles that we know, in theory, bits and strings are somehow similar, an both represent the more elementar variation of the world of their design

are manifolds equivalent to switches ?

if the dimensions of string are interchangeable so that any combination of 3 plus 1 equals our reality and the manifolds blip in and out at superluminal speed so that it appears there is one but maybe many blipping in and out seemingly occupying the same place but at differnet times and refreshing the projection at a rate we can't detect

:rolleyes:
 


No, strings are not the equivalent to bits. While they may both represent the most fundamental building blocks of their respective systems, they serve different purposes and have different properties. Bits are binary digits that are used to represent information in computers, while strings are theoretical objects in string theory that are proposed to be the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

While it is an interesting thought to compare bits and strings, there are significant differences between the two. Bits are discrete and have a defined value of either 0 or 1, while strings are continuous and can vibrate at different frequencies, giving rise to different particles. Additionally, bits are man-made constructs, while strings are proposed to be fundamental components of the natural world.

Furthermore, the concept of strings is still a theoretical one and has not been proven or observed in the physical world. On the other hand, bits are tangible and have been extensively studied and used in various technological applications.

In conclusion, while there may be some similarities between bits and strings, they are not equivalent. They serve different purposes and have different properties, and it would be inaccurate to equate one to the other.
 
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
