W this page contains cool physics. Don't bother with it, dear surfer, but... I did insert no less than two gratuitous jokes about Catherine Zeta-Jones for you to skim read to.

The true elementary constituents of matter, the quarks, electrons etc, are called the "fundamental particles". And they have sex.

Science is finding out more about the properties of these elementary particles all the time. But our picture is incomplete. The goal is to be able to describe the elementary particles and the forces of nature perfectly using a single theory, the "Theory Of Everything". Such a theory would tell us much about the Universe, the "Big Bang" and who knows what else. Finding the Theory of Everything is the holy grail of theoretical physics and is the most ambitious endeavour of man, besides trying to cop off with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Hurrah!

This amazing undertaking is not well known because it is intensely mathematical and abstract. But enough about Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Fundamental particles are incredibly small but not infinitely small. This is because there exists a minimum size, the Planck Length. Nothing in the known Universe is smaller. A photon (particle of light) with a wavelength of the Planck Length would be so energetic it would distort the surrounding space like a black hole. Fundamental particles are believed to be the size of the Planck Length, this length is roughly 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 cm. This length is as wide to an atomic nucleus as the nucleus to Mount Everest.

According to "String Thoery", which has since been proven to be mumbo jumbo nonsense, the fundamental particles are said to be twelve-dimensional entities. They can possess up to twelve dimensions (a sphere has three) and they can vibrate in up to the same twelve dimensional directions. For example a particle could hypothetically be a one dimensional string vibrating in 6 dimensions or a five dimensional "sphere" vibrating in say 11 dimensions. What is more weird is that they could be the "same" particle, one being indistinguishable from the other. An x-dimentional particle vibrating in y dimensions could be considered to be a z-dimensional particle oscillating in w dimensions. No wonder they're good in bed.

According to string theory, we only perceive 3 space dimensions and 1 time "dimension" (time isn't really a dimension by the way) because all the other dimensions are only perceptible on the the tiny scales of the fundamental particles. This can be shown by an analogy. Think of the hidden dimensions as like sperm. To the naked eye, sperms are not perceptible merrily swimming around in the... ahem... where ever, but just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. Sperm, like most of the dimensions of the universe, are so tiny that our senses are unable register their existence. Indeed, the hidden dimensions may be coiled up as small as the Planck Length. You are moving in these extra dimension, but don't feel it.

These strange vibrations, in a swarm of dimensions, putatively bestow the fundamental particles with their properties, such as mass, charge and the ability to have sex. The laws of physics themselves depend on how the surplus eight dimensions invisible to us are coiled up into such tiny lengths. The laws of sex ditto.


Sadly it has transpired that "string theory" has failed spectacularly. It makes no testable predictions, with no prospect of doing so. The mathematics is ugly. The theory shows no promise whatsoever. Yet this sham theory lives on due to some mafia-like control by crooked profs whom have their failing careers at stake.


Do you think that electrons are more sexy than Catherine Zeta Jones?

In reply to Drexlus, I'm not saying I can "prove" there is no god(s). But then again I can't prove there are no cross-dressing unicorns adept at dwarf tossing either.
In reply to ThatFatMoogle, that site you recommend is entertaining, but sooooooo misleading that I have devoted a whole page to an insane rant debunking it!

Thanks for the talkbacks so far,
