Hi meekerdb Yes, I was wrong, strings do have extension. So they are in spacetime.
String theory however does not have extension, so I at least can treat it monadically, since monads have no extension.

You have to do more thinking. Monads have no extension. And they have no location nor time. So they are merely theoretical, extensionless, outside of spacetime. You have to have extension to physically exist. Who told you that? So far as is known experimentally electrons are point particles and that's how they are modeled in QFT. If string theory turns out to be a better model, they'll have extension in that model - but there's no logical or meta-physical reason that they can't be points. Points are places in space, i.e. world lines in spacetime. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
