Hello there, and I am string theory! I will soon be the THEORY OF EVERYTHING! Or T.O.E. as those hip new scientists like to call it.
I remember in my younger days, I was full of mathematical anomolies, they just couldn't figure me out, but now leading scientists are working very hard to prove to the world that they can unite quantum physics and relative physics to bring together multiple forces and form a theory of everything!
Basically, I am a theory that involves atoms of course, but then we all know atoms are composed of quarks.. but I bet you didn't know that I am all about strings! No not dental floss silly! Loops of vibrating strings of energy that are said to make up everything we know today. Depending on how or the frequency that something "vibrates" at, depends on what the object is. For example, this computer you stare into vibrates differently than those rectangular things with words on them called BOOKS do! You see!
Of course I am not that simple. I am composed of advanced mathematics that took years and years to understand and develope formulas to explain and understand me. They are still working on those equations right this second! Isn't that exciting!
I am composed of many different parts. There are many things about me to consider. If you want to know more about me, that well, frankly wouldn't fit on just one myspace, you can visit some GREAT sites below:
And you can even watch the NOVA series "The Elegant Universe" online. This wonderful 3 part series is based on a book about string theory by the talented and top string theorist Brian Greene! Hosted by him aswell!

You can also read some WONDERFUL books about me by Brian Greene:

FAQ's about String Theory
What is the difference between relative physics and quantum?
Relative physics are things that are on a greater level of physics. Like
why a bullet hits the ground when fired, etc. Quantum physics is more along
the lines of smaller things, like strings! When you are trying to explain
string theory though, the "strings" are so small that things like
atoms seem so colossal next to them. Therefore what you'd consider quantum
becomes relative. That's how detailed the theory is.
WHY MATH?
The reason that many people often turn away from String Theory is because
it is so mathematical. For some reason, math scares people. Most of the proof
of string theory, since it's so small and you can't experiment very much, it
is all proven with math.
Math is the basis of life. Anything and everything can be explained with
math, therefore if the math works and is correct, it can potentially
physically happen. Often many of times the math is ahead of it's time.
Einstein's theory that if you travel at the speed of light, you can actually
travel forward in time, or rather you stay still and the rest of the world
ages. If you do the math of this theory with time dilation etc. it works, it
proves to be possible. Obviously it's not possible in TODAY'S science because
we have physical limitation where we cannot get things to travel at the speed
of light. While they have gotten particles fractions away from the speed of
light in particle accelerators, it's not exactly the speed of light. While
that's today.. who knows what amazing things can happen in science tomorrow.
I don't get the math, so I can't understand String Theory, huh?
Not true, not true at all. While you could try to teach yourself the math,
there is an easier way. To wrap your mind around this amazing theory, you can
put things into analogies. The Elegant Universe and the Fabric of
the Cosmos, both by Brian Greene, is the best way to
understand String Theory without any math at all! Brian Greene has an
excellent talent at putting things into simple terms for people to understand
so that people can become aware of String Theory.
Here is a lovely interview with leading string theorist Brian Greene on the Colbert Report, he talks about me in a nutshell.
FAQ'S about String Theory's Myspace
Why is String Theory Female? And why is it 21 years old?
The actual myspace says female because I had to pick one, and while string
theory is neither female, male, or human, it was a toss of the coin.
Also, it says 21 years old because string theory is in fact 21 years old,
officially. Scientists celebrated the silver anniversary last year on August
12th!
Can I be your friend?
String Theory is a theory. It's science, it's the theory of everything, and
everything belongs to everyone. Science is for everyone, so yes I will be your
friend.
If you have any other questions, simply mail them or leave
them in the comments! I will answer both personally by leaving a comment on your
page or mailing you back and put your question on the FAQ. Don't be afraid the
ask the theory about it self! Questions
are welcome and gladly answered!

WATCH THE SECOND AND THIRD PART OF THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE!
Working on getting the first part, but here's the second and third part!
Who I'd like to meet: Einstein, Newton, Hans Christian Oersted, János Bolyai, Gabriele Veneziano, Werner Heisenberg, Hermann Weyl and Eugene Wigner.
Hey. I got some new tunes up on my page. Check em out and tell me if you like em :-) you can also buy my whole new CD "Rules Do Not Apply" if you like my stuff :-)
