It isn’t a matter of which way they vibrate, but at what frequency, if at all. The best work on quantum physics is being done by CERN.
String theory was taken over by mathematicians because to make the theory work, they had to do some serious math-gymnastics, creating 9 (or more) parallel universes. This has been my problem with it.
NONE of this stuff can be observed. It is theory only, when it comes to string theory. String theory has tried to be an all encompassing theory about quanta, based on early 90’s knowledge and then they rode with String theory by making the underlying math work.
Well, I shouldn’t say none. What they are doing at CERN is actually observing quantum mechanics, or at least watching what happens when they smash them together. When they observe how they behave, they make certain assumptions about what they will do next time.. They do it again and if they do what they assumed, then they know they are on the right track. It takes smash after smash and collection of all the data gives them an idea about the qualities of the tiniest bits on an atom. Data collected by CERN have run contrary to the proofs of String Theory.
No body is saying that the eventual answer won’t be some mash up of the ideas of both theories, but right now, we lack the ability to observe it all, so it can only be theory for now. This work is very much like trying to understand what ‘The Nightwatch’ by Rembrandt looks like by only being able to see a centimeter of it at a time. Frankly, I wish someone would invent some sort of reverse binocular where we could look through them and see everything at Planck length.
Now, there are scientists capturing antimatter and they are able to look at it’s properties. That is very cool shit. http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/whats-left-to-learn-about-antimatter (this is a good up-to-date article)
