A Theory to End Theories
It's all about the vibrations, son.
According to string theory, absolutely everything in the
universe -- all of the particles that make up matter and forces -- is
comprised of tiny vibrating fundamental strings. All objects, not just
fundamental strings, have resonant patterns associated with them. Pluck
the string of a violin and you hear mainly one tone. This is the
string's fundamental resonant pattern, or frequency.
Just like a plucked violin string, the line of energy that forms the
"fundamental string" in string theory also has resonant vibrations.
With the strings in string theory, however, the vibrational pattern
determines what kind of particle the string is. One resonant pattern
makes it a photon, for example, while another makes it a heavy particle
found within the nucleus of an atom.
Imagine that. The thing that simultaneously separates us and keeps us
together is the frequency of the fundamental strings that we're built
out of. The vibrations of our strings makes us what we are. We are
essentially made of music.
Which, of course, means that the RIAA will sue the crap out of Scotty whenever he beams anyone up.
