I would just like to take a moment to say --

UMmmmmm NOooooooo........

Here, time for some select quotes from my board between me & my friend after I realised:

We were better off with our theories....but noooo you had to go and wreck it.....yes you and your string theories...now Ill never get a good night sleep again.....what that under my bed akkkkk old strings...akkk whats that hanging from your shirt akkkk more strings.....

it doesn't matter that no one believes me, I still know I'm right.

Actually, Goldom's theory isn't so abstract. I believe he is referring to SuperSymmetric String Theory, which was a TOE (theory of everything) proposed by Grassmann a while back. Its kinda taken over the thoery of supergravity recently, because its based on interaction beween bosians and fermions (known particles) while supergravity was a tad abstract.

Anyway, string theory has evolved over the last couple years due to the work of Townsend, who brought M-brane theory to the forfront. From my understanding here are 11 dimensions in modern p-brane superstring theory, just like other TOEs. I believe that he proved that superstring theory is a special case (p=1) of supergravity... But there is no reason the solution for any of the other 10 dimensions is wrong either.

Ok, so I'm not very good at descirbing all of this. Studying the shape of time has never really been my thing. All I know is that the 11-dimension physics makes the theory fit in well with the Ricci tensor and Einsteins general thoery of relativity (which IS my thing). Anyway, Its nice to see someone else around here take in interest in modern physics. Rock on!!! ANd look up Townsend or superstring theory to learn more, its actually pretty cool.

Yes twisted, Im sure that is exactly what he was trying to say!

I like modern physics...the ones that let you decipher what a woman wants. When you figure out that one, come back and we'll talk. Until then....

10-d?? Bah, what are you on Goldom? Thats just crazy!!

Everyone knows there's more!! No, really.

The bosonic string world sheet action

for a string propagating in flat 26-dimensional spacetime with coordinates Xm(s,t) can give rise to four different quantum mechanically consistent string theories, depending on the choice of boundary conditions used to solve the equations of motion. The choices are divided into two categories:
A. Are the strings open (with free ends) or closed (with ends joined together in a loop)?
B. Are the strings orientable (you can tell which direction you're traveling along the string) or unorientable (you can't tell which direction you're traveling along the string)?
There are four different combinations of options, giving rise to the four bosonic string theories shown in the table below. Notice in the table that open string theories also contain closed strings. Why is this? Because an open string can sometimes join its two free ends and become a closed string and then break apart again into an open string. In pure closed string theory, the analog of that process does not occur.
The bosonic string theories are all unstable because the lowest excitation mode, or the ground state, is a tachyon with M2=-1/a'. The massless particle spectrum always includes the graviton, so gravity is always a part of any bosonic string theory. The vector boson is similar to the photon of electromagnetism or the gauge fields of any Yang-Mills theory. The antisymmetric tensor field carries a force that is difficult to describe in this short space. The strings act as a source of this field.
