STRING THEORY

So what is String Theory?-A Theory of


everything OŔ, “A Unified Theory”
“There exists a dimension which
we can’t observe nor feel” this is
a bizarre theory mostly theories
like this don’t get attention but
this one in particular got a lot of
attention . Why?
-Theodor Kaluza
1907 Was a breakthrough year for year for physics as recently
a theoretical physicist named Einstein introduced his theory
of special relativity to the world so he decided to take his next
big step which was to enter into the world of ‘GRAVITY’
Even though he figured how apples hit people’s head, how
planetary motion works and many more what he failed to
mention what created gravity OR “ How The Sun Which
Is 93 Million Miles Away Can Exert Its Influence On The
Earth” was Einstein’s question
Modern Gravity AKA
“General Theory Of Relativity”

How does this connect to Kaluza?


ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE
Kaluza was is search of a unified
theory under which everything
in the nature can be explained
using on theory or one grand
equation so he wondered OR
questioned … But there was a
problem Einstein had already
used Space and Time to explain
gravity so what could he do to
explain electromagnetism?
WHEN WE HEAR THIS
THEORY MOST
PEOPLE THINK ABOUT
THESE TWO
QUESTIONS
1)If there is another dimension
where is it and why can’t we see it
2)Does this ‘Theory’(by Kaluza)
actually work in detail (or is it
just a theory like Newton's
Corpuscular Theory )
-OSKAR KLEIN
A new era of scientists wanted to unify the
laws of physics and this is called string
theory which at first sight has nothing to
with these extra dimensions and is very
simple - elementary particles are made by
different strings vibrating differently but
instead of producing musical notes they
produce tiny bits of energy, these strings
are the basic fundamental particles of the
universe which is uncuttable or indivisible
making up the universe
There is unification here as
it describes matter particles
like electrons and quarks
and radiation particles like
gravitons an photons but
there is a catch which is that
when we enter into
mathematics of string theory
it doesn't work in a world
with 3 dimensions
Even if this numbers
slightly changed the
universe as we
wouldn’t exist so
question now is why
do these numbers
have these values?
or why is it so
String theory suggests that these 20
perfect?
numbers are so perfect because of these
extra dimensions
String theory suggests that the 20 numbers are reflections on how
strings can vibrate differently and also the vibrational patterns of the
strings are controlled by the extra dimensions so in theory if we are
able know the extra dimensions we would be able to know the
vibrational pattern so we can calculate the 20 values and compare to
the actual values and if it is right then it would be the first
fundamental theory on the structure universe on the way how it is
