String Theory

Hello, and today I am going to be talking about String Theory which is an active area of research in particle physics. String Theory is also a potential candidate for a theory of everything (ToE) which aims to explain all natural phenomenon, and predict the outcomes of any scientific experiment. To start it off String Theory posits that the quarks, and electrons inside of an atome are not 0-dimensional objects, but that the electrons and quarks are actually composed of 1-dimensional strings. These strings oscillate causing particles to have their mass, charge, and spin. String Theory also predicts a massless state known as the graviton. This makes String Theory a quantum theory of gravity. String Theory also includes branes which are endpoints for Strings. Along with branes String Theory also includes 11 dimensions in the universe instead of the known 4. All of these theories are what makes string theory a potential candidate for a theory of everything. This is it for today on String Theory we will discuss more about it later.
