superstring octaves?
    #8712717 - 08/01/08 02:55 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

in superstring theory, do they follow octaves like music?

could we talk about superstring harmonics and so on?

I don't recall hearing anything about that, but I've only read one book on superstring theory and it avoids getting into the math.  The book I read (The Elegant Universe) said something along the lines of the math being so advanced that it would take a century for computers to solve the problems and that physicists were challenged even to understand them.

My understanding of the problem with superstring theory is that it doesn't really make any (new) testable predictions.  I'm not sure if this is due to the nature of the theory (that is, is it self-contained and "collapses" into a non-predictive theory) or are the energy scales simply too high to test.

I dont know anything about music...

But octaves and harmonics are fundamental features of all wave phenomenon, including the mythical superstring.
