Within ‘string theory’ as with quantum mechanics, we once again discover a fluid and changeable reality that contains the property of ‘indeterminacy.’ What this means is that the tiny energy filaments that are known as ‘strings,’ (tinier than the tiniest sub-atomic particle that has ever been measured), can become anything that it is possible to become – a particle, a wave, a graviton, an electron, and so forth. This is six dimensions greater than the traditional model that we have typically held containing three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. Based on mathematical models that can be shared and refined but not yet observed directly within matter, ‘string theory’ predicts a physical world of ten dimensions, nine tiny curled-up spatial dimensions and one dimension of time. ![]() ‘String theory’ arose and became popular within physics as a way of responding to this wish. ‘String theory’ is the result of the efforts of theoretical physicists to complete the work of Albert Einstein in being able to articulate a unified field theory of physical reality that would apply to both the smallest sub-atomic aspects of that reality and to the larger spatial realities as well. Although its precursors arose in the nineteen-thirties with the great surge of interest in quantum mechanics and its research into the nature of the sub-atomic world, it was not until a mere twenty five years ago that the newer ‘string theory’ gave new meaning to and a new understanding of the fluid reality that we live in. This shift in our assumptions about physical matter is taking place now. But if something is energetically moving, it is fluid and changeable, depending upon where and how we view it. But what if nothing was solid in the physical universe, and all that appeared that way was really energy in motion? If something is solid, it has a shape and form and is fixed in terms of spatial coordinates such as height, width, and depth rather than fluid. In the world of space and time that human beings inhabit, we ordinarily think of physical objects as solid and ourselves as solid. ![]() ![]() These two levels of description, that of ‘strings’ and that of ‘quanta,’ convey to us a new understanding of ourselves as embodied beings… Like the tiny particles, we are made of energy capable of transforming us in more than one direction, and capable of changing our inner reality as a result. ![]()
