| Sumario: | The article discusses the results of a study which explores the application of string theory cosmology. String theory itself attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and the theory of general relativity into one coherent formalism by positing the string as the fundamental constituent of the universe. Theorist John Schwarz defines the string theory as an ultramicroscopic vibration or one dimensional extended object. The braneworld scenario is predicated on a modification of string theory in which a new fundamental object is introduced which theorists define qualitatively as a two or more dimensional extended vibrating object with special properties. |
