Verification of String-In String Theory

AI Thread Summary
There is no simple proof for the existence of strings in String Theory, as confirmed by participants in the discussion. The conversation touches on wave-particle duality, emphasizing that photons exhibit properties of both waves and particles, but do not fit neatly into either category. The participants clarify that while electromagnetic radiation moves in waves, the concept of strings in String Theory remains unproven. Additionally, there is a humorous reference to a fictional article about "overclocking" creating a rift in space-time, highlighting the light-hearted nature of some comments. Overall, the discussion reflects a blend of serious inquiry and humor regarding complex physics concepts.

I was asking if we have some simple proof of the existence of the string in the String Theory

The proof of existence of strings in string theory? :confused: English is not my first language so your question seems weird to me. If you mean whether there's any simple proof for the existence of strings, then the answer is a definitive no.

1. There are no waves in photons. Photons (and other quantum objects) have properties similar to those of waves and to those of particles in classical physics. They're not really either.

2. ... in this universe...
It's the same universe.

I don't understand the third question. Do you mean reference frame by "reference"?

4. Wave-particle duality is a fact. It's not a problem, there's nothing about it to resolve in that sense.

5. Yes, strings and everything else, with a few conjectured exceptions (which include the vacuum state of the strings) .

Many thanks for your reply Berislav stating there are no waves in photons. Not only
are there waves but the frequency of the waves in photons determines the color of light. All electomagnetic radiation moves in waves.
 
Basic online tutorial on light & photons as waves:

I hope you realize that that's a joke.

Like I said photons have some properties similar to those of waves in classical mechanics.
 
Many thanks Doc Al: I was had by the website in question I quoted yesterday but do have a sense of humor and Berislavs note on wave and photos similarities are being
utilized more completely unify the ideas in the paper. Chris W
