Edward Witten : (3) " String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string. " - Edward Witten " One of the basic things about a string is that it can vibrate in many different shapes or forms, which gives music its beauty. " - Edward Witten " It’s indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I’m tempted to say that it has to do with the fuzziness it introduces. " - Edward Witten
