    About this ebook

    String theory corresponds to a theoretical (As the name
    implies) framework introduced in physics. This framework share
    similarities with particle physics, as it presents point like particles
    (from particle physics) as one-dimensional objects, these objects
    are said to be string. They are stored in the framework
    described above. String theory describes the behavior of these
    strings through space. It also determines how these strings
    interact with each other. It a string is observed on a larger
    scale than standard string scale, it may look very similar to any
    ordinary particle. The particle that is being observed will hold
    mass, charge and other string properties that are determined
    according t their vibrational state. Graviton is corresponded by
    one of many vibrational states of string theory. Graviton is
    simply said to be a quantum mechanical particle, which is
    responsible for carrying gravitational force. According to this
    statement, it can be said that string theory focuses mainly on
    quantum gravity thus it is a theory of quantum gravity.
    The main goal of string theory is an attempt in order to
    address in-depth questions about fundamental physics. It is said
    to be a broad subject that holds a wide range of concepts.
    Concept of black hole, cosmology, nuclear physics, matter
    physics etc are some of those concepts in which string theory
    is applied in order to solve a variety of questions. In the field
    of pure mathematics, many developments are carried out
    successfully by the application of string theory. String theory is
    said to be a theory for everything, since it contains descriptive
    concepts of gravity and particle physics. It literally covers all
    fundamental forces and concept of matter physics, which makes
    it a self-contained mathematical structure.
    Despite the theory being too much descriptive you may face
    certain challenges while trying to practically apply the theory.
    One of the major reasons behind these problems is that this
    theory does not contain a perfect definition that can be applied
    in all the situations and circumstances. It becomes complicated
    to develop particle physics theory based on string theory, since
    string theory describes a number of landscapes of possible
    universes. This fact can be determined as another limitation in
    application of string theory. As a response to these limitations,
    many communities criticize this theory for its various
    approaches in the field of physics. Many theorists and experts
    also question about the legality of the research that is being
    continued while using string theory as a base.
