Why hello there my fellow science lovers,
I'm some what new to the forums, and I'm loving it here. If this is being posted in the wrong section, I am very sorry. Anyways, I'm aware of the whole idea of the string theory. General relativity governs motion at a macroscale and quantum field theory governs movement at a micro scale, and in order to combine them together into one unifying theory, an equation that describes motion at both a macro scale and micro scale, the string theory was suggested. I was trying to read more and encountered lots of articles about super strings and extra dimensions. I usually read a lot online about stuff like this, in fact, yesterday I spent just about 3 hours in between two of my exams reading about it.
My question is involving the little pieces of the string theory. I want to know what super strings are, and how there can be extra (9 to 10) dimensions hidden at a quantum scale. If someone would generously help me out, that would honestly mean the world to me. I don't have a degree in physics or anything like that but I for sure plan on getting one one day. For now, it's just reading and watching videos about it.
Thank you very much!
Finn
