THIS IS A FUN BASIC INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM THEORY CONCEPTS. 
-------
Strings are all around you. Your clothes are made of strings woven into cloth. Spider webs are string. To physicists, who study energy and matter, a string is anything much longer than it is wide. The cables that hold up suspension bridges are strings even though they are six inches thick. Some people collect string and wind it in a ball. No one knows why. A scientist would even call your DNA a string, though it curls up and those curls curl up and so on. Your DNA stretched out like a string would be a few meters long. To a mathematician, a string has no width, only length. Scientists are beginning to believe that absolutely everything, from stars to cotton candy, may be made of string, very tiny mathematician’s string. This is string theory.

String theory is very weird, more than you can imagine. It involves higher dimensions and other universes. Vibrating strings make up everything. Everything is chunky and fuzzy when you look at it close enough. You can still hear and see the Big Bang that started the universe. Black holes are hairy. Is dark energy making you lose weight? Is dark chocolate matter making you gain weight? Instead of using the dog-ate-my-homework excuse, try this one. “I left it in the eighth dimension.
