String Theory

[Pat Roche]

As discussed before, string theory is based on the unifying of the four fundamental forces of nature (this is through Theory of Relativity and Quantum Physics);gravity, electromagnetism, weak force, and strong force. Currently weak force and electromagnetism have been linked. Mathematicians and scientists are currently working to unify the Strong Force and Electroweak Force. My understanding is that they are very close to completing work proving the combonation of the two forces. The biggest challenge lies in the unification of gravity. Gravity has a very small effect on atoms and even smaller the corks that make up atoms. Currently (if what I've read is true), we do not have the technology to make measurements on gravity at such a small size; thus not allowing us to make any physical test for observation. Is this a theory? Yes because nothing is proven but the idea is out there kicking around and not completed. Is it a law of science yet? No, we don't have any proof saying that it's true and completed.

Hope this is helpful,
