String theory

Asked by emcnair119 7 months ago, 10 answers.

God this subject is giving me such a darn headache...

Who here thinks that string theory is the way to go... parallel universes and stuff like that? I mean its such a scary thought. that there could be like other copies of us just living in a...

different timeline...

GEES!!!

A friend of mine tried to tell me about string theory and it made me dizzy. I believe in other universes but not parallel ones with copies of ourselves.

How could string theory work? You'd just get tied up in knots!

Haha I know!

I think it's wierd that.
theres us, in a country, on a planet, in a solar sytstem, in the milky way (or galaxy, cant remember :P) and theres millions of other solar systems in that galaxy that could have live like us living on one of their planets!
I feel so small wink

I think that would be cool if there were parallel universes. I am only 13 and learned about string theroy. What a sad life.

I'd get rid of the headache by reading the Bible.

rofl I love amblessed's responce. its a good idea but I think string theory is on the right track, may not be perfect, no theory ever starts off absolutly right but its getting there, its years in the making. but it could explain a lot...

*that there could be like other copies of us just living in a different timeline*

ummm I doubt that because evolution on another planet would like have to had occured exactly like earth's did.
and also, we're living becuse of oxygen.. it hasnt been found yet on any other planet.. so yeah

ok well im speaking of another universe and according to the theory every decision someone makes in this universe. the opposite is made in the other thus allowing the wave function to colapse. I tried that thought already.. im a 16 year old theoretical physics major.. haha nerd right

alygrl3895 you dont understand string theory. string theory talks about other universes. not other galaxies or planets in this one. and oxygen is on other planets. like almost on all. emcnair119 I dont think you are a nerd persay, just curious to new ideas which make sense if you can understand it. amblessed just didnt know what to say at all but that. string theory doesnt have anything to do religion. I think string theory could possibly be correct. I mean I always think what would've happened if I did this instead of that. I just think that its a pretty cool theory. I will soon understand the mathematics of it.

I dont really fully understand string theory but I dont think its possible simply because it suggests that we have done everything we ever thought about doing, in a different reality. I dont think something would be that focused on humans thoughts? Like it suggests if you had choices that you have actually lived out every one of these.
A guy said on tv that it means that everything that could physically happen does happen.
Wouldnt that mean that in some parallel universe, dinosaurs never became extinct?
Maybe humans never came to be?
Like you would have to live out every single physically possible reality.
Its confusing to think about.
