Pardon me. I claim ignorance. Where do strings 'exist'? Either? 'String Space'? If so, is there space between on string and the next? What, if anything 'fills' the 'void'(s)? How can strings be fundamental if they have to lay in (some) dimension(s)? Do strings define themselves? If not, what defines strings?

Strings, in the context of computer programming, exist within the memory of a computer. They are a sequence of characters stored in a specific location within the computer's memory. This location is often referred to as the "string space", and it is where the computer stores and manipulates strings.

There is technically no physical space between strings, as they are simply a series of characters stored in memory. However, in a visual representation of strings, there may appear to be space between them.

As for what fills the void between strings, it is simply empty memory space. This space is not filled with any physical matter, but rather it is utilized for storing and organizing data.

Strings can be considered fundamental in the sense that they are a basic data type in computer programming. They are essential for storing and manipulating text-based data. However, they do not exist in a physical dimension. They are simply a concept and tool used in computer programming.

Strings do not define themselves. They are defined by the programmer who creates them and assigns values to them. In this sense, the programmer is the one who defines strings and their purpose within a program.
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
Hello everyone, I am seeking to better understand the conceptual foundations and potential consequences of "Two-Time Physics" (2T-physics), as developed by Itzhak Bars and others. My interest was sparked by a recent paper that attempts to explain anomalous results in particle physics (apparent superluminal propagation of virtual photons) within the framework of 2T-physics: Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.02696 Key quote from the abstract: *"...the problem... can be solved naturally...
