      String theory, when explained, always sounds to me like they have the right general idea, but they've got the order of things wrong- Or even completely backwards. What I mean by this is that they have the physical nature of the system inverted, because they rely too heavily on math and not enough on logic. So prodding around in the dark with math, but they're blind to the fact they've arranged everything inside out.
      I would like to know if string theorists have tried seeing if they can, for instance, make the math work with the assumption that branes aren't wrapping around strings, but rather strings are pulled from the surface of branes. Similar to loose threads and stitching in a quilt. If the math for the strings and branes themselves works super well, and is super elegant, maybe it is describing something real, but they got the relationship between these fundamental objects wrong.
      If that's what's going on, fixing the relationship in the theory may produce testable predictions, through a better understanding of what's physically happening, and describe how the quantum world produces the classical one.
      Just a thought, anyway.

      Dear brothers and sisters,
      I made an effort and have published a series of papers (totally 9 nos.) on "Theory of Singularity" based on real dimensions of space-time. You shall check my work, in which the path(quantum orbits) of the fundamental particle are waves giving shape to the particles as strings. Also, you will see the curled up dimensions in my articles. I have tabulated total no. of dimensions required for theory of everything.
      "New study of Gravitation and Fundamental theory of Singularity" [Volume 10; issue 03,04; 2023] - ARC JOURNALS - International journal of advanced research in physical science - Open access for free download.
      Hope this new study serves one fundamental for general relativity and quantum mechanics. Theory of everything is not an easy task, as gravitation is nothing but a path to singularity. Gravitation is not a wave at any point of space-time, as it is believed to be in existing researches. I have shown to run along the axis of the detected waves or ripples and terminating in singularity. Moreover, as far as I worked, universally gravitation is only used to channel the forces for creation and destruction by nature....thank you

We still lack the mathematics to unifying it to the other three...

    I'm an experimental physicist and there's one thing about String Theory and also M-theory which has to be said:
    Every prediction so far made by both that has been possible to test has been proven wrong.
    After them being proven wrong, the theorists behind it then set out to modify the theory, so that it says the same or a similar thing, just reducing the scale to one which cannot be proven either right or wrong at the time, and when that is proven incorrect, they then set out to repeat this.
    So, to me, M-Theory stands for Mysticist Theory.

      @@shifusensei6442 Not quite.
      If it was the scientific method applied, then the hypothesis would be proven at least not entirely incorrect.
      But String theory and therefore all of its derivatives have been proven more than incorrect. oftentimes the opposite to the predictions has been proven.
      But then the string theorists go: "No, this is too beautiful mathematically to be incorrect." and adjust only that part, so that it would simply not be measurable.
      That is NOT the scientific method!
      If it WAS the scientific method applied, then it would work exactly like what has happened to the maco-description of gravity, where first, Newton described it as a force field, which worked well enough, then it was adjusted by several people, until the minutae didn't fit quite right anymore, but mostly right, and then Einstein came up with general relativity, which was mostly right, but flawed, and then it was corrected upon further.
      So, we can see, we had several flawed theories for gravitational attraction, which were mostly correct in their predictions, but just not quite right.
      Note the word: Flawed.
      If "String theory" (and thereby "M-Theory") was a flawed hypothesis, as most hypothesies are, then fine, no problem. Adjust the hypothesis.
      But it is a WRONG hypothesis, not a flawed one.

      What do you think of the general idea of there being a higher dimension?
      To me, the way subatomic particles behave, popping in and out of existence seemingly at random, is indicative of a higher dimensional object being viewed at a lower dimension. The whole 10-26 dimensions seems ridiculous, but just a 4th spatial dimension does not seem ridiculous. I also recall reading that general relativity does hold up with a 4th spatial dimension added.

I am fascinated by the idea that its so weak in comparison to the other forces but that it may permeate thru the brane in to the higher dimensions but how its also not like the other forces in that it currently exists as result of massive objects bending space /time and doesn't have a force carrier like the others.

      They aren't actual theories, though. They are hypoethisis that can't be measured or observed on any scale whatsoever. It's like asking if aliens exist. It's a question, nothing more. Mathematics can be used to both prove you exist as well as prove you don't exist. So just because the math is somewhat sound, it doesn't make it correct.

    Continue to approach these scientific topics like a writer. Like KB CW series we are interested because you are interested in your research. Also like KB you have found the perfect music to tell your stories. Apparently it matters because I find your early works difficult, and I think it is the music and echoing narration. The soundscape is almost perfect now, except that the narration could improve with the right microphone and a carpeted room. Learning lots. I've heard you summarize a whole summer's reading in half an hour, so I know these require a massive amount of research. Keep it up. We are learning physics to our surprise, just as we were surprised by our interest in KB's CW.

      ​@@manuagrawal7468 Good question! Hmm.. perhaps it looks as though everything is frozen in place. Everything but the photon itself. So then it would travel from the point of emission to the point of absorption without anything, other than it's relative position, ever changing. Or another way to look at it would be that the entire universe looks like a picture moving at the speed of light while the photon remains still (as it would have to be if we are in its frame of reference). So time moves normally from the perspective of a photon, but nothing changes with time as the "proper time" of everything else would be constant. Idk either that's just my guess. Hope that made sense!

    What an incredible moment for not only Professor Maldacena to have discovered the Ads/CFT Correspondence, but for each physicist that went from thinking it nonsensical to mind blowing. The equivalence of string theory on Anti- de Sitter space and a conformal field theory defined on the boundary of the AdS space to be discovered by a man who was proficient in both mathematics and physics was just serendipitous. What a well deserved Field's medal. To think, if Princeton had not realized his potential he very well may have wound up doing some menial task such as showing a first year grad student how to use an oscilloscope instead of being encouraged to think big.

    One theory that is being used to develop items for the DoD, since 1986, is by Applied Research Associates under license from Brilliant Light and Power, Inc. The theory used, Grand Unified Theory-Classical Physics, was used to develop 3 items, all working exactly as predicted by that theory. This is all past the stage of research, past the point of proof of principle and past the stage of a working lab version, and currently in an alpha version that is running in a pilot plant since October, 2022. After a year, the data from these pilots will be used for final engineering to make the first beta version for full commercial use. Hermann Haus, Institute professor of Electronic Engineering at MIT was approached in 1986 by the DoD to provide an explanation for how the Free Electron Laser works, at the QM scale. Haus' student, Randell Mills, continued that derivation into his full fledged GUT. This is all classical, with no assumptions such as waves and certainly not the point topology of the electron.
