Need help to understand String Theory.

Click For Summary
String theory is a complex theoretical framework in physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity by proposing that fundamental particles are one-dimensional "strings" rather than point-like objects. For a high school research paper, it's essential to grasp the basics, such as the concept of extra dimensions and how strings vibrate to manifest different particles. Engaging with specialized forums dedicated to theoretical physics can provide more in-depth insights and resources. Additionally, reputable websites and academic articles can serve as valuable references for understanding string theory. Seeking guidance from experts in dedicated forums will enhance comprehension of this intricate subject.

I am a High School Freshmen, and I am doing a research paper on string theory, could someone please tell me how string theory works, and the basics of it. Or, can someone tell me a good site to go to?

Well, the first thing to do is to post your question in a forum that deals with string theory. And that isn't this one. There are some theoretical physics forums on this board, and their regular readers might be better able to push you in the right direction.
 

Thread 'Hypothesis testing: Defining H0, HA hypotheses so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense'

The standard _A " operator" maps a Null Hypothesis Ho into a decision set { Do not reject:=1 and reject :=0}. In this sense ( HA)_A , makes no sense. Since H0, HA aren't exhaustive, can we find an alternative operator, _A' , so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense? Isn't Pearson Neyman related to this? Hope I'm making sense. Edit: I was motivated by a superficial similarity of the idea with double transposition of matrices M, with ## (M^{T})^{T}=M##, and just wanted to see if it made sense to talk...
