What's the central formula of this theory? I mean, there has to be something likem a Lagrange density or something similar... --[[Special:Contributions/91.4.236.151|91.4.236.151]] ([[User talk:91.4.236.151|talk]]) 18:09, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 
: To start, check out the pages on [[Nambu-Goto action]] or [[Polyakov action]]. [[User:Isocliff|Isocliff]] ([[User talk:Isocliff|talk]]) 21:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 
: I was just looking over this article and the talk page. Im thinking this article could benefit from a little more meat, i.e. specific formulas. This question came to mind, and seems to reinforce the need. Im thinking the article could benefit from at least a few of the basic formulas, i.e. how the p-brane worldvolume action generalizes the point particle worldline action, and just a few basic statements about the Nambu-Goto action and Polyakov action.... Im aware that this article shouldn't be a treatise on all the math of string theory, but these definitely seem appropriate. Thoughts?

== How to test it. ==
 
One way to test string theorys predictions about hidden dimensions
would be to produce photons with a wavelength shorter than the size
of the hidden dimensions. The energy problem can be solved by firing
multiple laser beams at a single nanoparticle, heating it to locally
extreme temperatures. The ultra-hot nanoparticle would radiate a small
number of ultra-short photons, but the photons would make up in
energy what they lack in numbers. Since string theory predict that
gravity and electromagnetism unify in hidden dimensions, the test
should involve gravimeters. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/109.58.249.18|109.58.249.18]] ([[User talk:109.58.249.18|talk]]) 08:26, 29 July 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
