Expert summary
The vibrating Universe is a concept that has evolved from the string theory, a still developing scientific approach to theoretical physics, whose original building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings. Strings interact in a way that is almost uniquely specified by mathematical self-consistency, unlike the point particles in quantum field theories like the standard model of particle physics. Testing the theory experimentally would be impossible on account of its expense as feats of engineering on a solar-system scale would be needed. The theory can take several forms. It posits that spacetime has eleven dimensions as against the three space and one time. Several superstring theories have been proposed and added to the ... Read more
