      That’s waaay outside my field!

      It’s a mathematical theory to explain what things are made of. Not just atoms – but what are atoms made of, and what are the things atoms are made of made of? Far too complicated for me.

      It’s outside of my field too I’m afraid!

      What Sheldon Cooper works on in the big bang theory?

      It is not something that’s usually taught in school…. some “mad” scientist came up with such expression…. it tries to describe everything around us: e.g. space evolution, time, motion … but it is that complex that you will never be taught this at school… oufff

      String Theory is theoretical approach in which all particles in physics is replaced with one dimensional objects which are called as strings. Later on it shows how this strings propagate in space and their interaction is studied.

      Wow, very impressive Q, you obviously watch the Big Bang- 🙂

      People that believe in the String Theory say that each particle actually contains a tiny, vibrating, one-dimensional loop of string. The vibration of the string determines the charge and mass of the greater particle.
