(Author)Description:(This is a RePrint) - M-Theory Is A Theory In Physics That Unifies All Consistent Versions Of Superstring Theory The Existence Of Such A Theory Was First Conjectured By Edward Witten At A String Theory Conference At The University Of Southern California In The Spring Of 1995 Witten's Announcement Initiated A Flurry Of Research Activity Known As The Second Superstring Revolution Prior To Witten's Announcement, String Theorists Had Identified Five Versions Of Superstring Theory Although These Theories Appeared At First To Be Very Different, Work By Several Physicists Showed That The Theories Were Related In Intricate And Nontrivial Ways In Particular, Physicists Found That Apparently Distinct Theories Could Be Unified By Mathematical Transformations Called S-Duality And T-Duality Witten's Conjecture Was Based In Part On The Existence Of These Dualities And In Part On The Relationship Of The String Theories To A Field Theory Called Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity Although A Complete Formulation Of M-Theory Is Not Known, The Theory Should Describe Two- And Five-Dimensional Objects Calledbranes And Should Be Approximated By Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity At Low Energies Modern Attempts To Formulate M-Theory Are Typically Based On Matrix Theory Or The Adscft Correspondence According To Witten, M Should Stand For Magic, Mystery, Or Membrane According To Taste, And The True Meaning Of The Title Should Be Decided When A More Fundamental Formulation Of The Theory Is Known Investigations Of The Mathematical Structure Of M-Theory Have Spawned Important Theoretical Results In Physics And Mathematics More Speculatively, M-Theory May Provide A Framework For Developing A Unified Theory Of All Of The Fundamental Forces Of Nature Attempts To Connect M-Theory To Experiment Typically Focus On Compactifying Its Extra Dimensions To Construct Candidate Models Of Our Four-Dimensional World, Although So Far None Have Been Verified To Give Rise To Physics As Observed At, For Instance, The Large Hadron Collider This Book Is Designed To Be A Reference And Provide An Overview Of The Topic And Give The Reader A Structured Knowledge To Familiarize Yourself With The Topic At The Most Affordable Price Possible The Accuracy And Knowledge Is Of An International Viewpoint As The Edited Articles Represent The Inputs Of Many Knowledgeable Individuals And Some Of The Most Current Knowledge On The Topic, Based On The Date Of Publication Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublication Date:2016-05-06Weight:1.38 lbsDimensions:0.56'' H x 11.02'' L x 8.5'' WNumber of Pages:268Language:English
