Yarn. A bunch of string that is used to make fabric. A ball of yarn. A bunch of yarn that is rolled up into a closely knit whole. I am using an analogy to help describe certain concepts in string theory. What happens when you untie the yarn and toss it? Not only does the yarn scatter, yet it also spreads out and becomes disorganized (implied by scatter). Compact. Do you remember what I said it means? Squished. (Implied). Which is more compact, a ball of yarn, or a scattered quantity of yarn? A ball of yarn is. Take the end of a ball of yarn. Move it in a direction away from the ball. What happens? The ball of yarn gets smaller and the yarn from the ball is taken to a place where if you think about it, it could be shared with more yarn. If you remember, this type of movement is called a distribution or a redistribution. What if you had many balls of yarn that were placed in a region. These balls were near each other. One end of each ball was moved away from each respective ball. Each of these ends of yarn were to interact (touch, rub, and curl around) with other ends of yarn that were recently moved away from their respective balls. Each ball of yarn mentioned moves in a common general direction. (There may be slight changes in direction of balls of yarn relative to each other, yet each ball of yarn ends up moving in what ends up being the same whole direction). The balls of yarn go together in a circle as a unit. After the set of balls of yarn complete going in a group rotation, (What I mean here by rotation is like a group of cars going all around a racetrack), each ball of yarn ends up interacting (touching, rubbing, and curling around) with each other ball of yarn in terms of the ends of yarn that were loosened from the given balls of yarn as was described earlier. This shows in words metaphorically that after one complete cycle of balls of yarn going around a hoop of curvature, each ball of yarn has in effect interacted (touched, rubbed, and curled around, here, in terms of the ends of yarn from each ball of yarn brought outward from the balls) with each each of the other balls of yarn existent in the hoop that I just mentioned. (Existent means here that each ball of yarn mentioned is in the hoop.). As the balls of yarn rotate as a group around the given hoop (as cars rotate around a racetrack), the balls of yarn also spin and roll. What is spin? Place a small ball on your finger and twist it. The twisting action you see is called spin. What is roll? Toss a bowling ball down a bowling alley. The twisting action you see is called roll. I will continue with the suspense of this session later. I hope that you are learning from my ideas on string theory. Please be patient with my analogies. I am trying to use metaphors and similes to bring my concepts down to earth for the average reader. When I get a router that works, I will be on the Internet often enough to answer the comments that are given to me. Until later, you have a phenomenal day!
Sincerely,
Sam.
