I've been reading a little about superstring and i came across a reference to Nobel Prize winner Steven Weinberg who once refuted Thomas Kuhn's work "Structures of Scientific Revolution." (I mentioned the book once before here). I'll elaborate later.
It's an interesting concept. I haven't seen the equation (and if I did I'm not sure if I'll understand it). But mathematically, it requires that there exists 10 spatial dimensions. And since it's tough to even imagine a fourth spatial dimension in real life...
String theory states that everything consists of a string that vibrates at a certain frequency. For instance, a string can vibrate one way and be a quark. Another string can vibrate a different way and be a muon. A lot of scientists love the concept. Some despise it. But as of now, superstring theory cannot be proven through experimentation. People are waiting for the gigantic Hadron collider. And even then, who knows?
More later.
