superstring theory. This theory tries to answer the following question: what are the basic, fundamental, indivisible, uncuttable constituents making up everything in the world around us?
Thing are made of atoms, formed by protons, neutrons and electrons. These are formed by quarks. This theory suggests that inside those, there is something, a filament of energy that vibrates in different patterns and frequencies. When vibrating, it produces the different particles that make up the world around us. Depending on the frequency the particles produced are different.
This theory shows what Einstein and Kaluza were searching for: a unified theory. Because all matter and forces of nature are put together under the rubric of vibrating strings.
Instead of 4 dimensions as Kaluza suggested, this theory works in a universe that has 10 dimensions of space and one dimension of time.
Also, what this theory might explain are the 20 numbers that describe the universe, because these numbers have to do with the extra dimensions. If they were able to know how the extra dimensions are they will discover the vibrational patterns and, thus, they’ll be able to calculate those 20 numbers and explain, for the first time, the structure of the universe.
