Basically, there are two philosophies on the universe, the philsophiophy on things that happen at the sub atomic level, which tends to be rather eratic and all togeather crazy, this philosophy is known as Quantum Mechanics. The other philosphy or theory or watever you wish to call it is General Relativity, this expalins all that happens on the massive scale (stars, galaxies black holes ect.) the missing link though, is what connects two such different theroys? Once this is solved of course, you have yourself a TOE (theroy of everything.) String Theroy is what some ppl claim to make this link. However, somthing is only scientifically recognised if it can be experiemented, parts String Theory havnt been able to be experiemented for a while, so its truth has always been conroversial. However, there is soon to be a massive particale acceorator to be built, the most advanced to date. This will make a reinactment of the first billionths of a second after the big bang..i think, so being able to study such small things now wil lead to parts of String Theroy being properly scientifically proven. However, if a theroy can be proved mathematically then thats good for me, i believe in it, do any of you guys?
p.s sorry if i jibbered a bit, i tend to do it wen discussing such things, also excuse my terribly bad grammar and spelling, but i am so set in my ways that i carnt get out of them.
