Dvorak Mar 2021 2:10pm, 22 Mar 2021 22,182 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Well, by positing supersymmetry, superstring theory removed the faster-than-light tachyons from Bosonic string theory. The history of a string is a surface in space-time, called a "world-sheet". There are also space and time directions inside the world-sheet. So the world-sheet is like a little two-dimensional space-time, embedded in the n-dimensional space-time that the string is moving through. In the larger space-time, every point on the world-sheet has an n-dimensional position vector. So it's as if there are n fields on the string - on the world-sheet - corresponding to the space-time coordinates that the string is moving through. Would you eat 4000 calories of cheese in a day, or would you like to?

It's over there, then round that bend, after that carry on past many turnings till you come to a T-junction then turn right, then left, on you go to the 10th round about, take the 4th exit and continue for many miles till you eventually arrive. In short, it's a long way. At what temperature does water boil?
