do you guys know anything about string theory? how would i explain it to a bunch of 13 year olds. i am doing an oral and handing in a written report on it for class, but i'm a little unsure of what exactly to say. any comments would be helpful

explain string theory to a bunch of 13 year olds?

 

here's some advice:

 

"don't"

lol

Maybe its a school for the gifted.

i recall some physicist saying that anyone who thought they understood string theory didn't know what they were talking about.

 

or maybe that was quantum...

 

i don't know anything about string theory. but good luck with that. I bet you get some interesting questions.

it was quantum and it was Feynman, if I recall correctly.

Just say that the smalles measure of matter/energy is composed of very tiny vibrating strings strings... or something to that effect.

 

Shouldn't one understand what it is before attempting to educate kids about it? ugh

 

Thats all that I think I know about it.

thanks neway guys, it turns out i have a week longer... which means a few days longer to worry about how to explain it to all my friends.

That's not how the American education system works.

Ime sorry faf, I was thinking again, nasty habbit that is.

Here is a good site re: string/super-string theory. It may help you...

 

http://superstringtheory.com/

 

It breaks down each section into basic, and advanced, which makes it great for laymen, and those more advanced. Though it may still be beyond the average 13 year old

thanks for the link, i've been using that one for my basis. franlky, now im just stuck on explaining theoretical physics. any ideas?

thanks,

I can't take you seriously at all... why are you doing this?

Yeah but any 13 year old who's interested in this stuff would have already researched it on their own like you have.

I don't know if thats an insult or a compliment, but I get your meaning.

it's a compliment. initiative is always a good thing.
