SuperString+Theory

Super String Theory By:Cary Sit
The universe has thought to have been created by the “Big Bang” however, a man that goes by the name of Gabriele Veneziano thinks otherwise.

In 1968, he created a model for the creation of the universe, but it failed as it did not agree with what factual evidence we know. However new studies have been made on the theory of Quantum Chromo-dynamics. This study describes the universe in a state before the “Big Bang”. This theory proposes that inside protons and neutrons lay unbelievably small particles called Quarks. These Quarks are made of and held together by undefined bonds that act similar to the rubber bands that hold our newspapers together. Theses “Quantum Strings” can stretch and contract depending on certain conditions, and there vibrations dictate what particle they create. For example a certain vibration would create a Electron while another would make a Proton. Remember that in the sub atomic world regular physics no longer applies, instead particle physics dictate the actions of these particles. And one of the rules or laws proposed is that these “Quantum Strings” are controlled by the value of the “Dilaton” a field existing in another dimension that dictates the actions of Quarks and there stringy bonds.

Now in our world a shorter length of any material is always lighter than a long piece but, in particle physics if you shorten the length of the material to that point where it is beond its fundamental length then the material gains more mass. This Theory goes onto explain that the strings shorten and stretch back and forth each time stopping at its maximum length something like the vibrations of a string or Oscillations. The difference being that “Quantum Strings” cannot collapse because of their properties and cannot stretch to infinity likewise. So this goes against all that the “Big Bang” theory proposes. Also because of this scientists are most interested in this theory, as it is the closest in explanation as to why the universe is so unified. E.g. the universe has only protons, electron and neutrons.

There is one more key factor in this impossible to understand equation. There is yet another dimension that exists like ours before the big bang, the “Axion” this dimension collided with ours to create the “Big Bang”. These two dimensions are not the only ones, scientists believe that there are 11 dimensions, 10 containing space and one containing time. As seen in the right most picture, the image aims to simulate the vibrations of the separate dimensions and how they are connected to the universe, each would hold "Super Strings" and control the set vibration values.

This theory has been challenged. The first was when Thibault Damour Objected and stated that the universe would be highly unstable and previous knowledge states that the universe was very stable at the point of the “Big Bang”. Gabriele Veneziano responded by stating that mini “String Holes”(Black hole like objects) Would stabilize this chaotic dimension by consuming excess quarks.

Future studies will determine if this theory is true or not. Projects like the European Space Agency's Planck Satellite and an already created Particle Colldier.

In the end there is an unkown number of dimensions all playing a part in how our universe acts. You may not notice at first but its there, all you have to do is look for it. So at best we can try to understand why the universe acts as it does, however know of every value in the universe is another story.
