String Theory - Titles

String Theory - Titles

1. Problems

   • Is it provable?
     • Too small to test
     • Extra dimensions we can't access
     • Can it pass the Scientific Method?
     • Is it just a Philosophy, rather than a science?
   • Complicated Maths
     • Marrying Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity
     • Extra dimensions, with lots of possible shapes for each dimension
   • 5 different types of String Theory, but which is right?

2. Mathematics/Science of it

   • S/M-Matrix Theory
   • Supersymmetry
   • Faster than light particles (Tachyons)
   • Quantum mechanics marrying relativity
     • Probabilities meeting Absolutes
   • Higher dimensions
   • Anomalies in the Maths
   • Higgs Mechanism

3. History

   • Einsteins work on trying to unify Gravity and Electro-Magnetism
   • The Strong and Weak nuclear forces
     • Quantum Mechanics
       • Einstein's distaste to it
       • Neils Bohr
       • Probabilites
   • Swarz and Green's work on the maths
   • Clausa's work on extra spacial dimensions
     • Klein's work built on this

4. How useful is it?

   • Unification of the 4 forces
     • Can be used to describe Black Holes and other extremes
   • We can't access the extra dimensions, so they don't matter
   • Any new innovations because of it
     • Understand Dark matter/energy
   • Could be the Theory of Everything, the end of all scientific theories
