The jury is still out on that one. One problem with string theory is that there seems to be many versions of it that seem to be equally plausible. This is troubling to physicists.
No. not necessarily. Not one scientist has proved the string theory to be true so you can't say that its true or fake. Although I don't believe in the string theory anyway. There are also many versions of the string theory. I don't think that quantum particles like quarks are infinitesimal one-dimensional "string-like" objects. So in conclusion the string theory is not real nor is it fake. We don't have enough information about these particles and so we don't know whether the string theory is true or not. But remember there are many versions of the theory.
If String Theory is true, strings exist because space-time and the physical laws of our universe would not work otherwise.
[At least] Three. There could be more if string theory or the theory of branes proves to be true.
Einstein didn't have a String Theory
String theory transcends space and time
Geof Bush has: Played Mayor of Chicomoztoc in "String Theory" in 2011. Played President Eisenhower in "String Theory" in 2011. Played Dr. Herbert P. Eldrich in "String Theory" in 2011. Played Security Door in "String Theory" in 2011. Played Stone Giant in "String Theory" in 2011.
Gabriel Vinetciano found an equation explaining the strong nuclear force.He found an equation and published his papers.This led to the foundation of the string theory as these equations were an answer to the string theory
Michio Kaku did the 'String Field Theory' with the other scientist from Japan. All Michio Kaku did was make the equation of String theory to about 1 inch long.
AnswerString theory, which has to date not one single scientific verification has thus nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of the present day universe as it exists in space and time.There is no known way to verify string theory due to things like the incredibly tiny size of the "strings" of energy in string theory. However, if it were true, it may help in understating other theories that relate to how the universe began.
check this page out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theoryAs you can already see the dimensions in string theory are already in knots. Also, the string in string theory are so unbelievably small that we would never be able to see them, let alone tie them into a knot.
String Theory (as its predecessors Relativity and Quantum Mechanics) has only one dimension of time. However it has many more dimensions of space than its predecessors (both had 3 dimensions), as the simplest version of String Theory must have 10 dimensions of space, while more complex versions require more (with no defined upper limit known). The big question is "Why can't we detect those additional 7+ dimensions of space that must be present if String Theory is true?".
