How does the concept of mass decay relate to the theory of superstrings?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between mass decay and superstring theory, emphasizing the one-dimensional nature of strings and their implications for understanding fundamental particles. Participants highlight that strings exist beyond conventional three-dimensional constraints, forming a "world sheet" in higher dimensions. The conversation also touches on Kaluza's five-dimensional theory and the quantization of strings, which requires specific dimensions for anomaly-free quantization: 26 for bosonic strings and 10 for superstrings. The dialogue concludes with a critique of the complexity in string theory and the need for simpler, more logical explanations of fundamental forces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superstring theory and its dimensions
  • Familiarity with Kaluza-Klein theory and its implications for gravity and electromagnetism
  • Knowledge of quantum mechanics and the concept of particles as vibrations
  • Basic grasp of mathematical concepts related to combinatorics, specifically Catalan numbers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Kaluza-Klein theory on modern physics
  • Study the quantization process in superstring theory and its dimensional requirements
  • Explore the concept of branes in string theory and their role in spacetime
  • Investigate the relationship between string theory and quantum gravity
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, theoretical researchers, and students interested in advanced concepts of string theory, quantum mechanics, and the unification of fundamental forces.

And those forces come with preset values? That's what I'm asking.

It is hard to measure.

0 1 dimension, it is hard to measure for ever. :cry:

There have been no "real" values established for anything.

There has been no answer to what, how and why... anything exists or functions.

Bunch of relative stuff... no absolute(s).

? You mean why is the weaker than the strong force and so on? Partly it's because the weak force is carried by massive particles (the W+, W- and Z0 bosons), while the strong force is carried by massless gluons.
Hmm... No, I mean all of the "predefined" numbers in existence. Like how much mass is needed to "bend" space-time for example?

What if all of this is wrong and one key piece of info is missing that explains things in different three dimensional terms? Mass decays due to heat and pressure, density, into an incomprehendibly small gravitational wave creating the actions of time and space? The sychronization of each masses waves brings objects together. Acceleration between the point of origin's of the evaporating waves affects time relative to each body and yet each body independently is not effected do to each body being a separate point of origin of the wave being generated with undetectibly small amounts of mass being transferred to the monopole energy of the gravitational wave. Black holes would have to evaporate for someone to notice! Or do they?
