There are a lot of examples of theories in the past that at the time, people though that were real (like how the evolution in the animals worked or how actually a cell looked like, for example), but whit the technological advances, those theories changed.

String theory, or now superstring theory, allows gravity to be described in the quantum level, it predicts the graviton. However, there are some problems with this theory(not in the scientific sense, it’d be more of a hypothesis), I’ll just name one, because it can get very long explaining this. The main problem you could say is that the string theory and superstring theory predicts (or requires there to be) that there is 6 other dimensions, or 10 total dimensions of our universe.

    String theory is an untested hypothesis. More and more physicists are abandoning the idea as a wild goose chase. It's just a super complicated set of mathematical calculations that involves more than 11 dimensions. Michio Kaku (the man I love and respect) is always super excited about these untested ideas that border on science fiction rather than reality. So no. We won't see vibrating strings. Thanks

    the math isn't worthless, they are educated calculations offering worthwhile information that these patterns exist at the subatomic level. You won't ever see a string because you can't see in the 4th dimension. I recommend you read 'Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions'. I think you might find the argument interesting and enjoy the story. Best

    He just said (in his theory (of everything?) That everything is just A DANCE of ENERGY, at different levels & patterns. That's variety of strings to say in short. But i think String is open-end vibrating ENERGY, not material particles (electron existence is limitation/boundary) which are LOOPS of many kinds.. another book (?) to be written.??

I’ve had many earthly and otherworldly, vivid dreams of numerous realities-within parallel and alternate universes-as early as the late nineties, for a week in 2001, and mostly within the past 13 years. And this included being within different worlds, seeing MANY different extraterrestrials, and even interacting with dozens.
