B Do Quantum Strings Define the Strength of Our Universe's Fabric?

[CallMeDirac]

TL;DR Summary

No

Do quantum strings have a specific strength, as in how much does it take to break the fabric of our universe if even possible?
What would happen if it is broken or has happened?

how much does it take to break the fabric of our universe

What does that even mean?

quantum strings

What do you mean by "quantum strings"? Do you have a reference?

... how much does it take to break the fabric of our universe ...

"fabric" is a really useless way to describe the universe; it is an English language word that has no scientific meaning in the context in which you have used it.

To all questions: the quantum "strings" upon which time and gravity act

I do realize that it is stupid to think of quantum strings as actual strings

Moderator's note: Thread moved to the Beyond the Standard Model forum since the reference given is to a speculative hypothesis regarding quantum gravity.

The word "fabric" appears only in the title. The word "break" does not appear.

I ask again:

What does that even mean?
