phan a tic 6 Posted December 2, 2017 I made it through High School with a B average. Took Algebra, Geometry and even Trigonometry. Passed two years of a foreign Language and History, Geography and Government. Passed Public Speaking and Creative Writing. Also Economics. And of course Science, Chemistry and Biology. Three years of College (HMIM) with a 3.1 GPA. I even ran a successful business for many many years. But I just can't wrap my head around String Theory nor Dark Matter. Now I know there's quite a few geniuses here; I see it in all those Political 'discussions'. (yes, I'm kidding) But honestly, does anybody here really understand String Theory or Dark Matter? Enough to explain it in as few words as possible. I'm guessing the answer is no. Amirite? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted December 2, 2017 Ever watch men in Black? Remember when they panned out at the end and our universe was a marble. String theory is like that except we are a guitar string on God's guitar. Dark matter is like regular matter except it is black, hence the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted December 3, 2017 I don't understand String theory and such, but the "parallel universes" theory was created because the math doesn't work without it. Which means it's probably hogwash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted December 3, 2017 Dark matter... the problem is the name. Its actually dark gravity. If you think of it as a gravity instead of matter it makes it easier to unnerstand. We can detect it... we dont know what is causing it. In fact if we measure the gravity in space...85% of it has no known origin. The word Matter is what screws it up.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted December 3, 2017 I watch and read Leonard Susskind's work on String Theory - as well every thing else. Although I don't always understand the mathematics, I'm fascinated with the study. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thornton Melon 544 Posted December 3, 2017 Quite a few physicists believe that the universe shouldn't even exist. There is an equal amount of matter and anti-matter, and it should all cancel each other out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
