Now some theorists propose instead that the cosmos is speeding up because gravity grows weaker at huge distances due to a kind of leakage into the higher dimensions
anticipated by string theory.
that we do nt settle with a simplistic explanation due to our lazyness to find out... example of lazyness thinkin... the big bang theory is
back by string theory..
Dvali, a physicist at New York University, was
motivated by string theory, which holds that the universe may be an 11 - dimensional structure — and a leaky one at that.
Perhaps, they argued, every universe predicted
by string theory really does exist — each one in its own bubble within the far greater multiverse.
On the other hand, the underlying interior is thought to consist of tiny strings that vibrate, fuse and break apart to create matter and gravity — an environment that can be mathematically
explained by string theory.
There are more than 320,000 subscriptions on iTunes U to online courses
developed by String Theory teachers, with users in more than 15 countries.
Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School,
run by String Theory Schools, is an urban K — 12 campus that leverages technology and an emphasis on entrepreneurship to make learning relevant and real for students.
A Queen Mary physicist and a Turner Prize winning artist have teamed up to create a new exhibition of sculptures and drawings inspired
by String Theory research.
It's the Canadian connection: these wonderful vivid cobalt blue scarves and shawls are
made by String Theory.
The possibilities being discussed for dark energy range from quantum vacuum energy to the influence of the unseen extra dimensions
predicted by string theory.
Using similar techniques originally
inspired by string theory, Strominger's group has computed the spectrum of gravitational waves emitted when compact objects like stars fall into giant black holes — predictions that could be verified by the future Evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, planned to launch in two decades (or maybe sooner).
So the different laws of physics predicted
by string theory might not be just hypothetical.
When a new universe sprouts from its parent, the concept goes, only three of the dimensions of space predicted
by string theory will inflate into large, full - blown, inhabitable spaces.
Laboratory gravity tests There is a surprisingly simple way to detect the higher dimensions predicted
by string theory: Look for deviations in Newton's law of gravity.
Most physicists are confident that the particles we refer to as dark matter will be found, whether or not they are the specific particles predicted
by string theory.
A type of black hole predicted
by string theory may help to explain the properties of a mysterious class of materials called «strange metals».
The only thing that can hasten a black hole's demise is a cable made of cosmic strings, a hypothetical material predicted
by string theory.
