Well it kinda intrigues me as to what these strings are made of
I keep coming back to thinking of an electromagnetic wave travelling in a vacuum. There's no actual substrate there, but the wave still exists, it uses the magnetic and electric fields to propagate right?
So.. what is the invisible 'goop' that constitutes those fields.. & is that same 'goop' the stuff that strings are made of?
There's one particularly intriguing facet that describes how matter can spontaneously come into existence from nothing, ISTR Stephen Hawking had something to do with it
Just find the whole subject fascinating because it seems to indicate that if you go down deep enough, you come to a point where existence sprouts directly from nonexistence via some kind of mathematical machinery. We aren't really here, it's all just a big maths conjuring trick. Scary weird.
