An Invitation to String Theory -
12-03-2007, 09:16 PM
I noticed this paper this morning, whilst looking through the arxiv, and thought it may be useful to some people. It's rather technical, but the introduction and conclusion should be accessible to all. Here's the abstract:
Quote:
It is hoped that these lectures will give a point of entry into that vast web of related ideas that go under the name "string theory". I start with a more or less qualitative introduction to gravity as a field theory and sketch how one might try to quantize it. Quantizing gravity using the usual techniques of field theory will turn out to be unsuccessful, and that will be a motivation for trying an indirect approach: string theory. I present bosonic string theory, quantize the closed string in the light cone gauge and show that one of the states in the closed string Hilbert space can be interpreted as a graviton. I will end with some general qualitative ideas on slightly more advanced topics.

Actually Lakshya I believe some of our members are supporters of the WSM model, others are supporters of the Standard Model, and some, like myself have their own unique models.
Vive la difference!
Best to you,

It's a TOE founded by many physicists mainly Milo Wolff and Daniel Fitz Patrick. It has many proofs. Not much research is going on this topic. That's my main question that why are we not supporting a model which has evidence but we are supporting a truly meta-physical model. See these: Quantum Matter Space And Motion
