Could someone give me a short summary(if possible) of how discovering matter is made of vibrating energy will give explanation to all four fundamental forces?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Too difficult,I think few guys can give you answer.

There are certainly people here who can answer this, except that the explanation is long and probably more easily found elsewhere (have you tried the wikipedia page on string theory or similar?) The fact that strings are 1-dimensional objects cures certain problems that field theories based on point particles suffer. For instance, the finite size of strings removes singularities and regularizes many otherwise infinite quantities.
 
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...
