In the beginning was the Word: Ommmmmm

[Guest guest]

NOVA will be airing a three-part special beginning on October 25th

about String Theory!!!!!!!

 

Correlations:

 

First line in the Bible: "In the beginning was the the Word." Words

are expressed with vibrations, or sound, right?

 

The Vedas proclaim: "God is pure sound." "OM is a sacred syllable

in which all things are contained."

 

String Theory is the latest in quantum physics and in VERY BASIC

TERMS as far as I can understand says that all matter is made up of

vibrations of a sort. From www.superstringtheory.com: Think of a

guitar string that has been tuned by stretching the string under

tension across the guitar. Depending on how the string is plucked and

how much tension is in the string, different musical notes will be

created by the string. These musical notes could be said to be

excitation modes of that guitar string under tension.

In a similar manner, in string theory, the elementary particles we

observe in particle accelerators could be thought of as the "musical

notes" or excitation modes of elementary strings.

 

So, this is all very exciting for me... it brings together my love of

hard science fiction and my love for God.

 

Jai jai Ma!
