Theoretical physicist Brian Greenejoined us for a Q&A todaywhere he answered several of our most burning questions about string theory , protrude with the most basic : Just what is drawstring theory anyway ?

In 10 Word or less , what is string theory . Okay , 400,000 words or less … . GO !

It ’s an attempt to unite all matter and all strength into one mathematical tapestry .
( That is 10 words in base 14 . )
Greene expounds further on the same depicted object in the 2 - minute video above from his newWorld Science Uproject that launched today .
Of course , with the basic definition of strand theory in billet , there was plenty of way to segue into some of the deep stretch of drawing string theory , including what the hereafter held for it :

So , the latest beat of experiment from the LHC seem to bumble up the musical theme of supersymmetry . Does chain possibility have any prospect of surviving this ?
This is an important doubtfulness :
But first , for those who may have forgotten what supersymmetry is :
Supersymmetry is a potentially adult step toward Einstein ’s dream of a unified theory . Supersymmetry brings together particles of subject and particles of forces into one merged whole .
Now , for your question :
You are right that there is as yet no grounds for supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider . Nevertheless , you need to birth in judgment that the LHC can not rule out supersymmetry , at most it can show that supersymmetry can only be accessed by an even big collider . So string theory ( which embraces supersymmetry ) can not be govern out by the resultant role of the LHC either .
permit me emphasize too that if we could rule out supersymmetry and rule out string hypothesis I ’d be tickle . Which might sound strange come in form someone who has spent his grownup life work on these idea . But I ’m not wed to any one theory , I ’m wedded to making progress toward the truth . And harness out ideas is for certain onward motion .
On the other hand , I ’d also be exalt if we could find grounds for supersymmetry and for strand possibility . And yes , more thrilled than I ’d be to dominate them out .
you may study Greene ’s whole Q&A , covering the relevance of string hypothesis to the flat Mexican valium theory of time , calamitous holes , and just which actress would book the sought after office of the fermion in String hypothesis : The Movie , righthere .
