Wikipedia correction for bosonic string theory?

On the Wikipedia page for bosonic string theory, shouldn't the closed and open oriented theory have the vector boson, and not the one with only closed strings? I could be wrong, because the addition was made in 2015 without correction since then, but this seems to contradict information in the first chapter of Polchinski. Could anyone give clarification?

How to calculate the Dimension (=26) in Bosonic String Theory?

i have studied a few physics, but didnt graduate in it and now i am studying mathematics, but it still remains a mystery to me how i can come from the Polyakov action to the result that Bosonic String Theory does require 26 dimensions to give the right solutions.

Would be awsome if somebody could guide me the way to understand to calculate that D=26.

On June 5, 1995, physicists at JILA made the 1st Boseโ€“Einstein condensate using Rb-87 atoms cooled to 170 nK. The magnetically & laser-cooled bosonic atoms were crowded together to form a single collective quantum waveโ€”a new state of matterโ€”confirming B & E's theories on quantum degeneracy of atoms. doi.org/10.1126/science.2โ€ฆ

The sum of all natural numbers by using a valid theory yeilds a negative solution - which calculus says doesnโ€™t work via ratio test - however it works as a valid solution in Bosonic strong and Casimirs effect. And no one knows why.

Details in title! For calculations in Casimirโ€™s effect, itโ€™s necessary and valid. If it does work in physics as a valid solution, we need to come up with a way it works in math. Cause calculus says itโ€™s divergent via ratio test, which means itโ€™s impossible to find the value if it exists. However one of historyโ€™s famous mathematicians, Srinivasa Ramanujan, says it works and is valid. As he revolutionized calculus, we should listen to him.

How did the Gross-Pitaevskii description of bosonic condensates come only years after both Ginzburg-Landau and BCS theories?

Compared to Ginzburg-Landau and BCS the Gross-Pitaevskii description of bosonic condensates is much simpler, why did it take years before someone published it after much more complicated theories for fermionic condensates existed for years?

ELI5:Does the Higg's Boson bring String Theory into our general understanding of reality?

I was always told that String Theory makes sense within itself; all the physics works out, but only in a closed bubble where energy is thought of as strings.

I thought that the Higg's Boson is a particle that arose from String Theory, so does the proof of its existence prove that String Theory is true outside of it's closed bubble?

Hope that made sense.

my unhinged invisible string theory

tldr: i think invisible string is about how, although it would be nice to believe that fate brought her and joe together, in reality it was a compulsory bearding arrangement forced upon her to make up for her gay past.

this is probably a huge stretch, and idk if there is currently a gaylor theory on invisible string, but here is my messy and maybe scattered thoughts on the song

invisible string has always been a little confusing to me in a gaylor context, as it seems to be clearly about joe. when i was reading the lyrics for invisible string, something stuck out to me:

>"and isn't it just so pretty to think . . . some invisible string was tying you to me?"

now i haven't read Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, but i do understand that "isn't it pretty to think" is a very, very popular line from it. and given taylor's habit of making literature references, i find it hard to believe that this line isn't a hemingway reference

from my google search of the context of the line, it does not seem to have positive connotations (people who have read The Sun Also Rises please feel free to add input). these two screenshots seem to summarize a lot of what i was seeing:

https://preview.redd.it/xc8sxhg1cq881.png?width=1953&format=png&auto=webp&s=91f47834d69db182b69453f767b58d7dbfdaa0d8

https://preview.redd.it/2exdn0bc9p881.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d176ddce8ad73d259728d83348bd2c06eabb4281

It seems to me that "isn't it pretty to think?" is a sort of dismissal of an idealistic view of something. this point is key to why i think this song is "joe skepticism" and sets the entire tone of the song

in the invisible string context, this line makes me think that taylor is directly saying that her story with joe is an imaginary ideal: "isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?" sounds like "wouldn't it be nice if this was part of fate and we were meant to be together? isn't the idea of us being connected on an almost divine level a wonderful story?" but in reality, that isn't the case.

this theme of false fate is continued in other lyrics. the song seems to show that there is no reason that joe and her would have ended up together unless there was an external force: it would be nice ("pretty") to think that the external force was fate, but in reality, the external force was those around her forcing a bearding arrangement.

What implications, if any, does the discovery of the Higgs Boson have on String Theory?

It's my understanding that string theory has been lauded as one possible way to incorporate gravity into our broader model of physics. Does the existence of a higgs field 'cooperate' with string theory? Is it entirely irrelevant?

Thanks.

""String Theory"" vs. ""Resonance theory of Consciousness""

I just wrote an article trying to take a 'more-or-less' scientific perspective on ""vibes"", ""energy"", and ""frequencies"" - I already knew about string theory, but I also came across the "resonance theory of consciousness"

Are these basically the same thing ? Doesn't string theory already cover the "resonance theory of consciousness" ?

What does it mean that string theory is a framework?

I hear this often, that string theory is not a particular theory but rather a framework for doing calculations. I have a few questions about this.

  1. What does it actually mean for it to be a framework? Are there analogies to other areas of physics? Like, is this an ok analogy? "The principle of least action (and principles like it in Hamiltonian mechanics) make up a framework since it allows us to do calculations (like finding the equations of motion given a Lagrangian/Hamiltonian) but doesn't tell us anything about the real world until we figure out the right Lagrangian/Hamiltonian to study."

  2. What calculations are being done in this framework? For example, are they calculating scattering amplitudes of different processes or finding conserved quantities or something?

  3. What can this framework do? Can it be used to make predictions? I hear that it is a sort of generalization of quantum field theory in that this string framework encompasses QFT. What does that mean? Can it reduce to QFT in the appropriate limit?

I apologize if these questions sort of miss the mark or the point. I'm trying to get a handle on what research is actually being done and how it relates to what I know other fields of research are doing.

Thanks!
