Who can explain superstring theory to me?

I’m pretty into my quantum physics and am interested in maybe becoming a physicist! Just curious about this theory.

Answer #1

The super string theory (super symmetric string theory) is basically this attempt to explain that all of the particles and fundamental forces fit into one theory. This theory is that everything has super symmetric strings and cause a vibration. The only reason that separates the super string theory, and the bosonic string theory is that the super string theory incorporates fermions and super symmetry.

Now the idea of the string theory, is that the strings have a resonance or harmony which a fundamental force is determined from. The tension of the string is based on its Planck force (FP = c4/G) the graviton (or the proposed messenger particle of the gravitational force) would give this string theory a wave amplitude of zero. That would relate to Newtons laws of inertia (the graviton is what acts on the supersymmetric string).

I wonder about these things myself. Would singularity annihilate? Wikipedia has a great wealth of entries concerning many different theories.
