RyanJ Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Equations for the theories - Where to find them? Hi there everyone! Does anyone happen to know where I can find the equations used in theories like string theory? These will probably have to use what so ever too me (I do not yet understand them but someday I may ) - I'd just like to look at them fopr now and use them later. If anyone knows any internet sites that have them or any books that have them then please let me know Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungmintd8 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I googled it a few days back, I found something on wikipidia, I think. It had the equation for up to 26 dimensions, but was proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Finlay Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 The road to reality by Roger Penrose is stuffed full of equations. There may or may not be something about superstring theory in there. It's probably worth a read though anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mattson Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 String theory does have equations. Go to this page and search for titles containing the words "introduction string theory". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 @yourdadonapogos: I said I'll understand them at a later time - right now I'd just like to look at them and if possible get a basic idea of what they are saying @Tom Mattson: I'll have a look at that site, thanks for the link!

ydoaPs Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 String theory does have equations. Go to this page[/url'] and search for titles containing the words "introduction string theory". i didn't say it didn't have equations, i said it didn't have EXACT equations. the ones they have are approxamate.

RyanJ Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 i didn't say it didn't have equations, i said it didn't have EXACT equations. the ones they have are approxamate. But something is better than nothing right? I'm quite interested in string theory at this point in time and I'm spending a lot of time thinking about it (At the expense of other things I must admit.) I string / M-Theory still a very active subject in physics today? Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mattson Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 i didn't say it didn't have equations, i said it didn't have EXACT equations. the ones they have are approxamate. That's true of every equation of physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 That's true of every[/b'] equation of physics. they (string theorists) apparently have VERY approxamate equations....they make a big deal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
