Unraveling of the String Theory

The article that I read this week was, “The Unraveling of the String Theory”. It was published on August 14, 2006. The string theory is what made the thought of parallel universes more possible. String theory is the theory that just about everything is made up of little vibrating strings. String theory, was what everyone thought of as the “theory of everything” because theorist thought that even atoms were made up of vibrating strings. These strings did not just exist in a four dimension, but went as far as ten or more dimensions. But people are beginning to abandon the thought of the string theory because when the theorists try to test the theory, it cannot be tested. The physicists are trying to think of new ways to test the string theory. They can’t use the “old-fashioned” way to test the theory because the mathematics are too complex. Every time that they test the theory, new problems arise in the theory. The actual theory itself, is more complex than the math itself. Just the combination of the characteristics is hard. Little vibrating loops and strings that would be impossible to see, and much more harder to test the theory actually on. There is a lot that theorist would have to do to get a small string to test. I would not want to be the one to test this theory!
