One idea that string theory has advanced is equivalence between theories even if the theories all look different mathematically.
Five consistent versions of string theory were developed before it was realized in the mid-1990s that these theories could be obtained as different limits of a conjectured eleven-dimensional theory called M-theory* .* * * In quantum field theory, *Seiberg duality*, conjectured by Nathan Seiberg, is an S-duality relating two different supersymmetric QCDs. Seiberg was able to put the two theories together into a combined duel theory. The two theories are not identical, but they agree at low energies. More precisely after some math adjustments involving the gauge coupling constant, both theories behave in the same way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiberg_duality This also involves an interchange of the electrically charged particles (quarks) and magnetic monopoles. This comes from the strong-weak duality derived from the generalization of the electro-magnetic symmetry of Maxwell's equations. *Electric-Magnetic Duality in Supersymmetric Non-Abelian Gauge Theories* http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9411149v1.pdf On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 2:34 PM, Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: > In pursuit of a better understanding of LENR, I wanted to find out what > was behind some of the latest ideas about the nucleus.
