Hades Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Im aware theyre size is so neglibible, something to the order of 10 ^-32, that it would not matter even, but im curious to know. If they dont have mass, are they just a force then? Now, if strings are in everything, atoms, fermions.. does that mean they compose these particles and the only differentiating characteristic is its resonance pattern?

aommaster Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Everything that has matter has mass. So, yes it does have mass. Even though it is tiny. Nut not for the scale of atoms. There must be millions of atoms in a piece of string! -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 He's referring to the strings in string theory, not a piece of string. No, I don't believe they have mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 if it`s of any use, I was told that "Strings" are like the Nuclear forces that hold atoms together, note the word LIKE, so as far as I`m aware they do not posses MASS, not even in the same way that a photon in certain models can be said to be a particle even. it`s some sort of ineffible quality that`s not encountered in everyday life please don`t take this post as FACT, it`s just what I was taught/told and so I could be WAY OFF!

Hades Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 damn i sure like this new forum... pressing on.. my original numbers were slightly off; 10^-34... even smaller. Thats what i originally thought. They are not tangible, so to speak, but as yt said, a force that exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonriver Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 No mass, and it can vibrate in total 10 spacial dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
