Hi David, Lloyd and all;

As to FS less than photonic, we can't yet know...

Lloyd, I asked David one time as to why this substance couldn't be strings. It really is conceptually, an elegant substance. I don't recall his answer.

Here you have "something" that may be viewed as a one dimensional planck's length string. What could be more fundamental. The missing link between something and nothing. Mathematically, right behind or maybe within the point.

I guess you can even view it as a brane.
IMO Occram's followers and reductionist would really like string theory.

Best to all,

Pat

P.S. Sorry David if this is a bit off the topic.
