Does string theory, in principle, answer why matter comes in "chunks"?
Does string theory, in principle, answer why matter comes in "chunks" of the same amount (say the mass of an electron or muon), and why the energy in the electromagnetic field of a given frequency also comes in a "chunks",
(E = hc/λ)? Or is this a "why" type question that has no answer.
Thanks for any help!
