The string theory exists a there are thousands of physicists who are either trying to learn the theory or are publishing the theory. But the theory is not in its final form, ok? So we want o compare with experiments like dark matter. And dark energy is not quite ready to be tested because it has many solutions and we don't know which solution is correct. In other words, we don't gut it down to one inch. Now, i'm the co creator of string field theory. We can boil string theory down to an equation about two inches long. That's my equation stringfield theory, but not membranes. With membranes, that messes up my equation. And so we need a
Synthesizing relativity and quantum theory would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science. In this episode, Michael Shermer speaks with professor of theoretical physics Michio Kaku about: the Big Bang, black holes, worm holes, the multiverse, time travel, dark energy and dark matter, gravity, string theory, ETIs, meaning, and God.
