String Definition and 1000 Threads

According to string theory, all elementary particles are really 1 dimensional vibrating strings and the frequency that the strings are vibrating create different particles with different masses and other properties. But what I seem to not be able to find an answer to is how the vibrational state...

Hello, As I understand there is a problem in physics where point-like massive (or charged, etc.) particles would have infinite mass/energy (or charge, etc.) density. I'm curious how in the context of String Theory how we address the same problem? I have come to understand Strings as...

Hi all! I am currently working on an assignment for my dynamics course in which we need to create our own "real world" problems. I chose to do a problem which would solve the time at which the string of a lanyard would break when it is swung in a circle. My problem is with my end numbers. They...

Hello everyone, I would like to know if i can find in any of the Landau's books a chapter ,part concerning the flexible string ( differential equation , normal modes , stading waves ) ? I have tried to see but i can't find anything . There is a chapter concerning sound waves in a medium ( volume...

This is a question for the setup of a lab. I understand that the string must be tied to the mass and then spun in an overhead circle. A cylindrical tube with non-sharp edges will be used to spin the mass. Then, the string will be pulled through the mass, which would reduce the radius and...

What are some of the top graduate programs in Europe (excluding the UK) on theoretical physics specializing in string theory, fields or mathematical physics?

Homework Statement [/B] Consider a long chain of mass m and length L suspended from a tall ceiling. Like any string if one end is disturbed waves will travel along the string. However, the tension in the string is due to its own weight and is not uniform. As such the speed of the wave will be...

So I was reading our lecture notes about generalising the motion of a string by considering it as a system of N masses, and one of the arguments was that no matter where you are on the string, each mass element will oscillate with the same frequency. This makes intuitive sense for an ideal...

In a lecture I heard that if we suspend two objects of different masses (and the system is accelerating) on both sides of a pulley of no resistance with a mass-less string then the tension on both sides of the string is same - this is fine till now. To explain that the tension is same, it was...

Homework Statement Here's the problem. I was able to find the a_n and b_n values, my question is mainly on part (c), how do I find which modes are missing? The function is odd, so even modes should disappear, but cos(n*pi) doesn't disappear, it's either +1 or -1. I'd greatly appreciate any...

I have heard that ST can calculate the masses of the particles species of some vacuum and also its decay rate, charge and so on, but I have not seen any clear paper on the subject. Can anyone point me to one? Are "hbar" and "c" the same in all the vacuums?why or why not? Can ST predict the...
