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

Click For Summary
Quantum strings are proposed fundamental entities in theoretical physics that may influence the structure of the universe, but their exact nature and implications remain speculative. The discussion centers on whether these strings have a measurable strength that could "break" the universe's fabric, a concept criticized for lacking scientific precision. Participants express skepticism about the terminology used, particularly the term "fabric," which is seen as non-scientific. The conversation highlights the need for clearer definitions and references in discussing complex theories like quantum gravity. Overall, the topic raises questions about the foundational aspects of reality and the limits of current scientific understanding.

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?

What does that even mean?

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

"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.
 
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:
