  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Can somebody please explain.....

hi lludmila,
I'm not an expert in this field, but I can tell that string theory states that all matter and energy in the universe is made of strings. You can tell the properties by the vibrations of these strings. Some of the strings are wrapped into membranes that act as mini-wormholes to other universes. Brian Greene is the main guy behind this theory. Hope that helps.

Just to demonstrate how esoteric this field of study is, I have a physics degree and am going to be a graduate student in physics this fall, and I've never learned a thing about string theory except for what I've seen in documentaries. I've talked to other physics graduate students, and they don't know anything about string theory either. Heck, I've never even seen my physics professors talk about string theory. At the moment, string theory is highly theoretical and thus has no experimental verification; it's also studied by relatively few physicists, so most of us don't really know anything about it.

So I couldn't tell you anything about string theory beyond what you've already heard from popular sources. But maybe I'll read a couple papers on the subject and get back to you.
