String Theory ~ Are we all but just vibrating strands?

fritz, kinsa gani tong nobel prize laureate physicist na nag bisita usc nag speech about global government gani? his study was somehow related to string theory db? davd gross?

yep si david gross.. pero wala siya kadaug tungod sa research niya sa string theory. nakadaug siya Nobel Prize tungod sa research niya about Strong Nuclear Force. ang force nga ga bind together sa quarks ug gluons within a proton or neutron. If I'm no mistaken iyang PhD dissertation was about ana. Then na complete niya iyang research nya nakadaug siya ug Nobel Prize, nagresearch dayon siya about String theory. Most Nobel Prize winners who are now engaged in string theory have already profound contributions before string theory. hehe

wala diay ka nitan.aw ato? hehehe! asa naka ron? grad na? hehe

it's all in the mind.

OT
fritz from usc?

Right, aside David Gross, Nobel Prize winners like Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg (along with the Abdus Salam -- exponents of the Standard Model) are among the key figures in the study of ST lately. David Gross however thinks that "String Theory is still in a pre-revolutionary stage. Although remarkable progress has been achieved in the last decade in understanding the perturbative and non-perturbative structure of string theory, we still lack a fundamental understanding of the theory. Many string theorists suspect that a profound conceptual change in our concept of space and time will be required for the final formulation of string theory."

The man to watch I think is Edward Witten who attempts to unify the five string theories with his M Theory -- postulating on Supergravity and Branes (said to be the "10th spatial dimension") which has been gaining ground since its introduction among noted theoretical physicists.

yep yep.. edward witten.. the next einstein daw..... he has a funny voice... aside from being marveled by his brilliance, i cant help but smile at his voice.. heheh

Hahahaha...abi nakog ako ray nakanotice. I imagine him mostly as the guy who likes to gulp helium as part of his everyday diet. Or basin lang gyud nga panuhoton siya pirmi.

I don't know how Stephen Hawkings would receive Witten's allusion to being the present or the next Einstein knowing that Hawkins derived his Singularity of Theorems from Einstein's General Relativity.

intriguing kaau ni ang string theory....imagine a2 universe murag part ra sa usa ka slice nga bread ug naay laing mga universe nga parallel sa a2 universe...

may i ask when Prof D. Gross visited USC?

“The Coming Revolutions in Fundamental Physics” by Professor David Jonathan Gross, 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics, in the College of Architecture and Fine Arts Theater of University of San Carlos-Technological Center on January 11, 2008.

He also visited our labs. He even to look at my experimental setup for my undergrad thesis at that time. It was very intimidating. hehe But he is a very down to Earth fella. =))
