String Basics question from an ABJECT ignoramus

[QUOTE="DonFromPgh, post: 6557479, member: 695564"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] Questions that show my naivete about current string theory I know this will demonstrate how ignorant I am about the current state of string an brane theory, but I have a question that I don't think I could find the answer in current discussions. Please don't be too harsh. A string has to come in one of only a few "types": Closed - the string is connected and forms a loop, with or without knots, as complex as you can imagine. Infinite - the string stretches from infinity to infinity. Terminated - the string has endpoints. The question I have, is, why cannot these three different types of strings produce three types of matter/energy? One of them normal matter, another, dark matter, and the third, some manefestation of dark energy? I lknow, I know, simplistic, amateuristic naivite from someone who has not learned the intricacies of all of string/brane theory, and has what's probably a question that's already answered in the basics, but inquiring minds would like to know.[B][I][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
