Quantum Mechanics
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
Super String Theory
Particles
Our Universe Today
100
Jumpy and jittery
How do particles move when they are small?
100
They are stable and don't really move
How do particles move when they are big?
100
They vibrate at difference frequencies to describe different fundamental particles
How do the particles behave in Super String Theory?
100
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
What makes up an atom
100
Quantum Mechanics and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
What are our two existing theories?
200
The minimum size something can have
What does Quantum mean?
200
It is warped and dependent on matter
What is space like?
200
A guitar, each vibration describes a different note
What real world example could you use to describe Super String Theory?
200
A particle that can not be broken down any further and all fundamental particles make up all other matter
What is a fundamental particle?
200
They conflict each other because they have two different definitions of matter
What is the problem with our two existing theories?
300
You could fit it all in a sugar cube
How much space does all the matter in world take up?
300
A famous physicist and contributor to String Theory
Who is Albert Einstein?
300
No, String Theory has gone through many revisions with different ideas of how it would work
Is Super String Theory the first version of String Theory?
300
Quarks
What fundamental particle is inside protons and neutrons?
300
Because Super String Theory will bring the theories together and make sense of them
Why is Super String Theory called the "Unifying Theory of The Universe"
400
it would move slowly and space would bend around the planet
According to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity how would a planet move in space?
400
Super String Theory works but there is 1 string that describes all the fundamental particles, which make up everything in the universe
Why does Super String Theory work?
400
61
How many fundamental particles are there?
400
Because we need one set of rules to describe all the matter and everything in our universe
Why do we need one existing theory?
500
To describe how matter behaves on a subatomic level
What is the purpose of Quantum Mechanics?
500
To describe how matter behaves on a big scale and how gravity works
What is the purpose of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity?
500
The multiverse says that there are other universes parallel to ours with that same sets of rules
What is the multiverse?
