Hi Richard Ruquist I must be missing something. Wouldn't string theory be experimentally verified if it correctly predicts the motion of particles ?

Neither CYM's nor strings physically exist--?nstead, 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. Brent ?? When and if string theory makes a prediction that is then found to have a physical demonstration we might be more confident that it is useful as a physics theory and not just an exercise in beautiful advanced mathematics. The LHC is looking for such evidence... ? For example, if I live at 23 Main street, 23 Main Street is not my house, it is my address.? ? ? ?
