Aki Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Do you believe in the String theory, that we live in a world with 11 dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Do you believe in the String theory, that we live in a world with 11 dimensions? Don't all of the various string theories have 10 dimensions, except for the bosonic type which has 26? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 the m-theory, formulated by Ed Witten, has 11 dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 the m-theory, formulated by Ed Witten, has 11 dimensions. Ahh. That shows how long it's been since I've read up on sting theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justforfun Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Like any theory, it is relatively useful. In our times of accelerating change, theories need daily upgrades, like everything else. There will be no final knowing while we are still human. We live in interesting times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamous Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'm still waiting for some proof before I fall into step with any form of string theory. It seems we have multitudinous variations and there are a few scientists that claim that there may be an infinite number of theories possible. I must say that this all sounds like many are bowing to convenience to support an untestable and unproveable hypothesis. In fact Websters defines a hypothesis as an unproved theory. I contend that string theory should be refered to as string hypothesis and not string theory. There is about as much proof for aliens as there is for string theory.

Aki Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 The other front runner for the unified theory is the Loop Quantum Gravity. As to proof for string theory... wait 'til 2006 at LHC:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I doubt that the LHC will proof string theory... It might prove supersymmetry though.. Bo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
