Dj Bluespace presents VA String Theory..
Think of a string that has been tuned by stretching the string under tension across the instrument. Depending on how the string is plucked and how much tension is in the string, different musical notes will be created by the string. These musical notes could be said to be excitation modes of that instrument string under tension.
. In a similar manner, in string theory, the elementary particles we observe in particle accelerators could be thought of as the 'musical notes' or excitation modes of elementary strings.
