String Theory

[killer900]

What is your opiniopn on string theory? I think this theory would be great if it ended up being true. How could it not be great if a theory is true that could answer almost anything?

It also helps if you read "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene

Also, don't turn this into a religion debate. *cough* messiahofpenguins *cough*

It IS true just no-one will be able to do it for a while.

What I mean is thats there's no proof that it's right and no proof that it's wrong.

It was one of Euler's functions that unlocked the mysteries of the universe. It seems nice and I mostly believe it, but I always keep room for skepticism.

If this does turn out to be true, it would solve the apparent contradiction between General Relativity and Quantum Physics, and would change our view of the universe.

Unfortunately, there's no real way to prove or disprove the theory yet, since our technology isn't powerful enough to conduct conclusive tests.

As soon as they build that really powerful atom smasher they might find a gravatron or whatever the gravity particles are.

Gravatron=Fun ride. Graviton=gravity-transferring particle.

Personally, I find it fascinating in the highest degree. I'd be amazed if it didn't work out. It has so much potential. Like explaining dark matter.

I read the book and saw a movie on it.

I find it awesome that someone thought of this... hopefully it is correct
