At the heart of matter there is dance and symphony!
There are 4 forces in the universe
1) Strong Nuclear Force
2) Weak Nuclear Force
3) Electromagnetic Force - carried by photons.
4) Gravitational Force - carried by hypothetical gravitons, proposed by Einstein.
But truly there is just 1 Force, whose variations are all of above. The quest is for the unification.
In 60's a scientist doing experiments in atom smashers discovered that strong nuclear force patterns follows Euler's mathematical formula, derived for pure mathematical interest two centuries ago. He was just amazed, but couldn't understand why?
Later in 70s, scientists discovered that such pattern can only exist if the attraction was between 2 string or membrane like entities. Eureka!! So these fundamental entities are not particles but strings.
Different pattern of a vibrating string manifest different particles of varying mass, spin, and energy.
A photon of of 0 mass, and electron of some finite mass, and gravitons, are all fundamentally the same vibrating string, just in different frequency/pattern.
The dancing strings vibrate matter into existence. Representing matter, energy fusion at the most fundamental level. Just how dynamic is our existence!
The tiny strings dancing and emitting symphonies of all kind, happen to catalyse energy to matter or vice versa. Just like the saw-mill shaping wood into different objects.
I am just awestruck. The universe has music and dance at its core.
Now I know where is God! He is entwined in the string, singing and dancing in it.
