Tag Archive for: Fancy string

Today we did string theory class – the fancy kind.  Fancy string theory is kind ob like regular string theory, but it’s a little more complicated and berry sciencey.

In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles ob particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. It describes how these strings propagate through space and interact wiff each other. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state ob the string. In string theory, one ob the many vibrational states of the string corresponds to the grabitashun, a quantum mechanical particle that carries grabitashunal force. Thus fancy string theory is a theory ob quantum fancy grabity.
