NGSS.HS-PS1-8

In the 1970s String Theory was temporarily replaced by this...

• M Theory

• Cyclic Universe Theory

• Quantum Chromodynamics

• Quantum Electrodynamics

• S Matrix

According to String Theory, the Big Bang may have resulted from...

• A back hole collapsing into a quantum singularity

• Two branes colliding

• Hypervibration of multiple strings of energy at a single moment

• The collision of hadrons and fermions at a single point in time

• The expansion of the multiverse

NGSS.HS-ESS1-2

The book uses an analogy to explain the vibrational states of String Theory. To what is it compared?

• Notes played on a violin

• Middle C being played on a piano string

• The tapping vibration of a drum skin

• The air vibrating around a gong or a cymbal

• The vibration of air over the holes of a flute

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

String theory began as a way of explaining THIS force which binds together the particles in the nucleus of an atom...

• Strong force

• Weak force

• Electromagnetic force

• Gravitational force

• Directional force

Geoffrey Chew was studying these particles when he proposed an S Matrix to explain their existence...

• Hadrons

• Bosons

• Electrons

• Neutrinos

• Quarks

This scientist is famous for originating what we now call String Theory

• Richard Feynman

• Geoffrey Chew

• Albert Einstein

• Gabriele Veneziano

• Lee Smolic

One complication with the initial String Theory is that it could not work without assuming the existence of THIS MANY separate dimensions

• 4

• 5

• 11

• 26

• Infinite

This scientist proposed the existence of a Fifth Dimension while trying to unify electromagnetism and gravity

• Richard Feynman

• Geoffrey Chew

• Theodor Kaluza

• Gabriele Veneziano
