Comments on: Spooky Strings http://asymptotia.com/2006/10/31/spooky-strings/ Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:02:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: chris bishopp http://asymptotia.com/2006/10/31/spooky-strings/#comment-4436 chris bishopp Mon, 13 Nov 2006 22:28:21 +0000 http://asymptotia.com/2006/10/31/spooky-strings/#comment-4436 I am not a physicist in any way but I was searching for an informed opinion and answers to questions I have on M theory as a cohesive theory. I know the "M" stands for membrane but could it stand for medium as well? For example, in my opinion the universe as we know it and the laws that we assign to it are defined by the medium through which it can manifest. This medium is determined (in it's simplest terms) by limited frequencies of light, sound, and motion that are within the range of human sensory capacity. Waves determine the motion and define the boundries. Other dimensions must be determined by their own unique medium and the results of collision within that medium. Why only eleven dimensions? Do wave theory and thermodynamics have any effect on conclusions in M theory? I realize that I am just an interested party with limited mathmatical knowledge so these questions must sound childlike, but it seems that the creation of what we call the universe might only be a point we are choosing to focus on at the very top of the wave. The singularity we speak of might be merely an obsession with confining the infinate. Thank you for your time and patience and I hope I have not bored you to tears. If you have any thoughts or suggested readings it would be greatly appreciated. --c.bishopp I am not a physicist in any way but I was searching for an informed opinion and answers to questions I have on M theory as a cohesive theory.

This medium is determined (in it’s simplest terms) by limited frequencies of light, sound, and motion that are within the range of human sensory capacity. Waves determine the motion and define the boundries.

It is 7:00am now, and it will all burn off in a few hours, I imagine, to reveal the sunny sky waiting for us. But right now it reminds me of the Cambridge morning of a couple of weeks ago. A foggy Saturday morning in fact. I took that photo of the spider web I used on Halloween with that mist in the background. [...] [...] It’s a pleasantly foggy morning here on the USC campus.

Best wishes. P.S. Looking at the debate following your other post, you probably need to get better soon. Clifford,
