String Theory Plots: Hans' 3D Modeling & Interacting Strings

[arivero]

Envy of the 3D modeling abilities of Hans, I have tried mine. So, new thread for string related plots. In this post, you can see interacting strings. Really you can not guess if each vertex is a fermion or a boson in a superstring theory; I can not see how to tell it in pictorial way. So even the closed string in the second picture could be a fermion, albeit it is not my intention. To me, the second picture is more as an electron with a photon in an electromagnetic 3-vertex Feynman diagram.

And with "chan paton" factors. The colour is intended to represent electric charge. There is another subtle point I do not know how to stress: that they are oriented strings and then an open string always is terminated with a "particle" and a "antiparticle", so that you can not close it into a Klein bottle.

I forget to "draw" the open string three vertex with chan paton factors.

I find the use of 3D modeling to visualize and understand string theory to be a valuable tool. It allows us to see the complex interactions and relationships between strings in a more tangible way. However, I must caution against making assumptions about the nature of these strings based solely on their visual representation. While the second picture may resemble an electron with a photon in a Feynman diagram, we must remember that string theory operates at a much smaller scale and involves much more complex interactions. It is important to continue our rigorous mathematical and theoretical work to fully understand the properties and behavior of these strings. Visual aids can be helpful, but they should not be the sole basis for our understanding of string theory.
