B Long String Theory: Unveiling the Universe's Secrets

AI Thread Summary
Long String Theory posits that the universe consists of oscillating long flat strings, with lengths comparable to the universe's size and widths at the quantum scale of 10^-95 meters. The theory suggests that the universe's expansion results from the splitting and elongation of these strings, which interact at nodes to create an oscillating surface. Key elements include a constant tension force equal to the Planck force and a relationship between the number of strings and the fine structure constant. Predictions include potential changes in fundamental constants and a warming universe over time. The discussion emphasizes the need for credible references to further explore this theory.

In theories of particle physics based on string theory, the characteristic length scale of strings is assumed to be on the order of the Planck length, or 10−35 meters.

I am sure few people have heard about the long strings theory.

If there is information on the topic big request to share it, please.

This theory presents the Universe as a set of oscillating long flat strings. Their length is equal to the size of the Universe, and the width is a quantum of length 10-95 meters. According to this theory, the expansion of the Universe is the splitting and elongation of such strings. The strings of mass and charge are perpendicular, their intersections form nodes. It turns out an oscillating surface, like the surface of the ocean. The tension force of the strings is constant and equal to the Planck force, the speed of propagation of vibration along the string is constant equal to c.
The variable number of such strings Nm and Nq is in a certain relation related to the fine structure constant by alpha = 2pi * Nm/Nq^2

Predictions of this theory are a change in some fundamental constants (for example, an increase in the value of the Planck constant) and the heating (not cooling) of the universe with an increase in its age.

I only have a link to a popular science article. It does not meet the requirements of the forum. Perhaps someone has links to sources with the required level of trust.

Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.
