String Theory
from Quantum Foam
Here is the eighteenth episode of Quantum Foam, String Theory. We are taking a moment to assess some major problems that have been going on with math and physics that have been present since the time of the Greeks. This is a theory that states that each particle is a string that vibrates at a certain frequency. There have been 3 phases of the creation of String Theory as a new science. Now there is 11-dimensional holographic supergravity String Theory that is equivalent to the top 5 string theories and is known as M-Theory. These cover mathematical and technical representations of all of existence. The idea is to come up with a theory that describes what we see in nature. String Theory relies on higher dimensions that are folded and are not viewable by us currently. We are trying to reconcile the strong and weak forces with the behavior of gravitons, which are predicted by String Theory. There was a revision in 1984 that separated the second and third phases, and in 1995 there was the change of the last phase of the development of the theory. Dualities that we are referring to also deal with the theory. There is no current evidence that the theory exists in our reality. There are different mathematical equations that deal with the utilization of the theory. The Laplacian of certain areas of graphs perform spatial smoothing and filtering with the rapidly intense change in images. Do the Gauss thing to math grid boxes and then do the Laplacian thing. Much of this physics is done by computers and is used to approximate reality. These functions represent the probability density function of a normally distributed random variable. Invariance is important. We apply these tricks and others to our graph structures in order to describe the variance or invariance that the multi-dimensional Calabi-Yao manifolds demonstrate in String Theory. String Theory is a large collection of papers which purport the creation of a unitary space for higher-dimensional, finite orthonormal math bases. We have structures that allow us to merge more than one theory and be able to actually represent reality. There is T-Duality as it is applied to String Theory. This is how Edward Witten consolidated the most up-to-date String Theories. We don't want to get too far into enumerative algebraic information. We are dealing with quantized momenta that can be described as an S-Duality. This is how a lot of the theories were integrated into a more accurate representation of a theory that utilizes the Standard Model Of Particle Physics. There is incompleteness written all over this theory. There is a list of constants which have their values constantly messed with in the Standard Model in order to make String Theory work. For the time being, I just wanted to go into detail as to how this theory can possibly portray reality. As with a lot of theories, they leave out General Relativity and use it as a separate correspondence. A string can either be open or closed. We have issues with Black Holes. The surface area is equal to the total entropy. In the theory, there are different kinds of n-dimensional membranes known as branes. These specify the partial differential equations describing what we are working with. Theodore Kaluza and Oscar Klein came up with a way to denote multiple dimensions and opened the way for String Theory to be developed. Symmetry transformations can deal with the Quantum Chirality and the Helicity of a given particle. Possibly all fermions fall under this. Particles have handedness. There are many people who have worked on this theory. There were the different types of String Theories that were prevalent. The top 5 theories were Type 1, Type 2A, Type 2B, E8 x E8 Heterotic, and SO (32) Heterotic. These theories make up 11-dimensional supergravity and holography and formulates them into a single, cohesive framework. The implications from these claims are profound. There is still no consensus as to which flavor of the theory is correct. What role does String Theory play compared with The Theory Of Everything?
