Well there was today some lecture on String theory which I got late since I was reading something else in Condensed matter physics and then I looked at a book that I have of stochastic Integration with jumps and by associativity of ideas I searched google for Stochastic String Theory and got to this paper:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9408088.pdf

Any new stuff from this line of research?
Well it was published in 1994, relatively new.

Some may say all the ideas repeat themselves over the years, stuck on loops...

When I was a member of a patent review committee, the famous mantra of our chairman:

It's a great idea, but like so many great ideas someone thought of it before. Hence the echos of ideas past, reverberate today with variations in their tone, duration and loudness.

Can anyone be truly original? Only God, I presume... if he exists.
 
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...
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the Higgs mechanism and the concept of inertia. The Higgs field gives fundamental particles their rest mass, but it doesn't seem to directly explain why a massive object resists acceleration (inertia). My question is: How does the Standard Model account for inertia? Is it simply taken as a given property of mass, or is there a deeper connection to the vacuum structure? Furthermore, how does the Higgs mechanism relate to broader concepts like...
