Theory of Anything

“Theory of Anything?” was published on the Slate website, on November 23, 2005. This article was about string theory. Well more likely about the fact that he did not believe in string theory. His name is Lawrence Krauss. He’s a physics professor, and an astronomer at a university. He wrote a book called “Hiding in the Mirror.”

But, Krauss does not believe in string theory, because it couldn’t be tested. He believes that they string theory is for suckers. But in the article he talks about “General Theory of Relativity” and quantum mechanics.

But, string theory cannot be tested like how they tested the relativity theory and quantum mechanics. So in his eyes, it isn’t really a theory, it’s just a hope for a theory. But until it can be tested it’s not really anything in the real world.

The theory of relativity was that matter and gravity were equivalent, and that matter was basically pulling everything together. This theory was great, from 1905-1915.

The theory of quantum mechanics lasted from 1900-1927, and in that period, it was what was really worked on. And this was the theory that momentum and the position of a particle could not be determined at the same time.

And string theory was from 1969 to now and it is still being worked on. String theory is the “Theory of everything” and I think that it does exist. But I really enjoyed this article. It was interesting, and something that I had not read before.
