in string theory is it that each quark of an atom has one string or is it made up of millions?
i know this is a kinda silly question

clm321 said:ok but in m theory there are not only looped strings but open strings right?
I believe so, but definitely not loose; that would be type I I think.
Naty1 said:Am not sure what "loose" means, but closed loops, gravitons, are not affixed to branes.
I am not sure if all the constitutent string theories associated with M theory have branes...and if they do which types, p and/or d...I just did a quick Wikipedia check...it says there are different types of d branes in different string theories...

Methinks we have too many theories, not enough experimental evidence so far...

String theory is a theoretical framework that attempts to explain the fundamental nature of particles and their interactions by describing them as tiny, vibrating strings instead of point-like particles.
According to string theory, an atom is made up of millions of quarks and other subatomic particles. However, these particles are not considered to be point-like, but rather tiny strings with different modes of vibrations.
String theory explains the properties of an atom by describing the different vibrations of the tiny strings that make up its subatomic particles. These vibrations determine the mass, charge, and other properties of the particles, which in turn determine the behavior of the atom as a whole.
No, string theory is still a theoretical concept and has not yet been proven through experiments. However, it is a popular area of research in theoretical physics and has shown promise in explaining fundamental particles and their interactions.
String theory predicts that there are more than the four known dimensions (three spatial dimensions and one time dimension) in the universe. It suggests that there are 10 or 11 dimensions, with the extra dimensions being curled up and undetectable at our current level of technology. These extra dimensions are needed to make sense of the fundamental forces and particles described by string theory.
