Julian Hoppe wants to know.

Okay, this next one is about string theory.

And as patron Nick Reinders inquires, string theory, come on, what the fuck?

That's an excellent question, Nate.

I will attempt to summarize it in the smallest, jankiest nutshell I can.

String theory is that particles are actually teeny tiny.

tiny, tiny, tiny strings, which means that there could be more dimensions.

And also string theory may unify Einstein's theory of relativity about gravity with the other quantum physics that just do not comply.

In his book, Adam writes, quote, string theory doesn't describe a single universe, but instead describes a string landscape, a phenomenally huge number of possible universes, 10 to the 500th power or more, quote.

So what is happening in all those universes?

Is my dog there?

Am I still wearing this yellow sweater?

And does string theory finally reconcile the other theories that don't mesh together?

Is string theory the dongle that all of science is waiting for?

Kitty Halverson also asked about it, as did.

Graham Tattersall wants to know, string theory, flim flam or science?

Okay.

Amanda J. wants to know, does quantum physics have anything to do with our consciousness?

Because it has something to do with everything.

Okay, real quick.
