>>Wonderful point! However, why do people persist in using the misleading term “string theory”?

 

Because it helps them to visualize the wave particle duality as a localized distortion of a "string"?

 

This theory seems to be more complete:

Not "strings", but localized standing waves.

 

Localized standing waves of/in what, though?   Ether?

 

 

Localized standing waves of distorted space.  Energy IS space.

Nice website, but IMHO the M Theory does answer it all, theoretically. And it explains the Big Bang to a tee.

But the concept of Eleven dimensions, and an infinite number of Alternate Universes made of 'branes' is just a tad hard to comprehend in our Three Four Dimensional world (I Include Time).

And as I recall Einstein never bought into Quantum Mechanics, which he was obviously wrong. And E=mc² still has a problem on the 'VERY BIG' scale as with Super Gamma Ray Burst, just like the regular laws of physics doesn't work on the very small.

Not that any of it really matters in the long run anyway, 90% of the Universe is missing. ;-)

Yep, I'm hung up on Super Gamma Ray Bursts and the accepted explanation.
If I wasn't so old, I'd start a new career.
