Hi guys, Neither CYM's nor strings physically exist-- instead, they represent things that exist. Anything in equation form is itself nonphysical, although the equations might describe something physical.
The equations of string theory describe strings. So how does it follow that strings aren't real. That's like saying a sentence that describes my house shows that my house isn't real.
I agree that string theory (or any other theory) is a model of reality and not reality itself. But, if it's correct, it refers to reality or at least some part of reality - like, "My house is green." refers to a part of reality, but "My house is blue." does not.

For example, if I live at 23 Main street, 23 Main Street is not my house, it is my address. Roger Clough, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> 8/21/2012
