A common misunderstanding even for scientists is the presumption that a theory is proved true in its explanation of the natural world wherever its predictions are successful. Some of the controversies over string theory result from misunderstandings about physics. Introductions to string theory that are designed for the general public must first explain physics. M theory/ supergravity theory has 7 higher dimensions + 4D. Many string theorists are optimistic that M-theory explains our universe's very structure and perhaps explains how other universes, if they exist, are structured as part of a greater " multiverse". The mathematical framework that unifies the multiple superstring theories upon that shared geometrical range is M-theory.
Some superstring theories seem to come together on a shared range of geometry that, according to string theorists, is apparently the geometry of space. The most prominent contender as a TOE is string theory converted into superstring theory with its six higher dimensions in addition to the four common dimensions ( 3D + time). This is called the search for a theory of everything (TOE). Today's search is for a unified field theory that is quantized and that explains matter's structure, too. This tries to resolve the alleged conflict between classical physics and quantum physics by elementary units-the one classical force: gravity, and a new quantum field theory of the other three fundamental forces.Įinstein had sought a unified field theory, a single model to explain the fundamental interactions or mechanics of the universe. String theory tries to model the four known fundamental interactions- gravitation, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force-together in one theory.
