| Why do we care? String
theory is not able to be proved or disproved in the universe, however,
water seems to be showing similar behavior in this fountain. Open
clusters of stars have a related property; empty space expands and
membranes form where matter is present. Eventually, the membranes
of gravitationally bound matter rupture and strings of stars
form. Patterns in nature are recurrent, allowing us to suspect
that these patterns may be similar to those that we think happen with
space, time, and matter. These stereo images may contribute to
our insights. |
