Unifying String Theory and SuSy

In summary, the latest data from CERN supports a mass of the Higgs Boson that aligns with both parallel universes/string theory and SuSy. There is speculation that experts like Edward Whitten and Savas Dimopoulos could potentially unify these theories, but it is unclear if they are too fundamentally different. The concept of randomness in the Born interpretation can be explained by the higher dimensionality of string theory and the one-way aspect of SuSy. The Gaussian distribution of the Higgs Boson's mass also suggests a connection between SuSy and string theory. However, it is possible that the original poster may have been influenced by the movie "Particle Fever" which discusses the potential implications of the Higgs Boson's mass.

It seems that the latest data out of CERN suggest a mass of the Higgs Boson that is smack in the middle of what would be suggested by parallel universes/string theory and SuSy.

Do you think Edward Whitten, Savas Dimopoulos, and probably others could get together in a room to unify these two theories as Whitten did the multiple theories of string theory? Or are they too fundamentally different?

Of note, the "randomness" we get from the Born interpretation could be supported both by the higher dimensionality of string theory and the only-one way of SuSy given that extreme complexity with dependence often models as indepenence (randomness).

I'm no genius (at least in terms of IQ/SAT) but I spend enough time understanding and deriving the Gaussian distribution to understand that in it's simplest terms it is merely the mathematical enforcement of identical PDFs that are orthogonal to each other. But we model this distribution all of the time in complex systems with a lot of partial dependence that ends up largely cancelling out.

The Gaussian distribution of the mass of the Higgs Boson seems to beg for a unification of the ideas of one-way of SuSy and the multidimensionality of string theory--manifest in what we observe in the Born interpretation of quantum as random that which is in fact merely unobservably complex.

What do you meander exactly? String theory already is supersymmetric.

I strongly suspect that the original poster watched the movie "Particle Fever".

If you have not seen this movie, whoever wrote the script for this film made a big deal about how the mass of the Higgs boson would supposedly prove supersymmetry, or would instead provide evidence for the multiverse. Towards the end, the narrator talks about how the mass of the Higgs is "in the middle", and that seems to be what the original poster is referring to.
 

FAQ: Unifying String Theory and SuSy

What is Unifying String Theory and SuSy?

Unifying String Theory and SuSy (Supersymmetry) is a theoretical framework that aims to merge two major theories in physics, namely String Theory and Supersymmetry. String Theory is a theoretical framework that attempts to explain the fundamental nature of particles and their interactions, while Supersymmetry is a theoretical symmetry that postulates the existence of a partner particle for each known particle in the Standard Model of particle physics.

Why is it important to unify String Theory and SuSy?

The unification of String Theory and SuSy is important because it has the potential to provide a more complete and unified understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe. It also has the potential to solve some of the long-standing problems in physics, such as the unification of gravity with the other three fundamental forces, and the existence of dark matter.

What is the current progress in unifying String Theory and SuSy?

The unification of String Theory and SuSy is still a work in progress, and there is no definitive theory that has been accepted by the scientific community. However, there have been many developments and advancements in both String Theory and Supersymmetry that have brought us closer to a unified theory. For example, the development of the M-Theory, which combines different versions of String Theory, and the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, which provides evidence for Supersymmetry.

What are the challenges in unifying String Theory and SuSy?

One of the biggest challenges in unifying String Theory and SuSy is the lack of experimental evidence. Since both theories deal with extremely high energies, it is difficult to test them directly using current technology. Additionally, the mathematical complexity of both theories also presents a challenge in finding a unified framework that can explain all the fundamental laws of the universe.

What are the potential implications of a successful unification of String Theory and SuSy?

If a successful unification of String Theory and SuSy is achieved, it would have far-reaching implications in physics and cosmology. It would provide a deeper understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe and could potentially lead to the development of new technologies. It could also help us understand the early universe and possibly lead to a resolution of the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
