____String Theory

Fast approaching a month since I last played football. I don't even start missing hall now. Plus I even doubt my chances of retaining a room in my fourth/final year. Sometimes you can't help but think time will distant you from your love. Don't you?

Chanced upon this interesting article on the "String Theory" that was brought forth by scientists during the 80s. It would be around twenty years now that the idea was first proposed and this article argues about the validity of this theory and whether or not the resource of the world's brainiest people should focus in proving (or unproving) this seemingly absurd idea.

String Theory article.

To briefly explain, String Theory is an attempt to unify the two varying laws of physics - Quantum and Wave. Ever since Einstein's amazing discovery of E=mc^2, physicists have struggled to explain the existance of Quantum without compromising the validity of Wave, and vice versa. For the unknowing, quantum explains the behavior of small particles by little packets of energy, while wave explains the behavior of large, massive objects. Yet, the two theories cannot be used interexchangeably.

In physics terms, an equation the unifies the theories is the Holy Grail for all scientists - the answer to this mystery that eluded even the great Einstein. To me, this equation will probably never emerge in my lifetime. It suggests the existence of 10 dimensions, and the presence of an infinite number of universes - what they call "Parallel Universe". However, I do hope that one day, humankind will finally discover this Holy Grail so that future generations will not suffer the the lonely feeling that the wolves do when they howl. Hopefully, by then, there will be no more comparisons of human living with that of living in a giant ant nest.

Hopefully...
