Indeed, many physicists entirely disagree over the correct interpretation. The result is a frustratingly woolly insight into the nature of the Universe. That’s quite unlike other fundamental theories. General relativity, for example, produces remarkable insights into the nature of spacetime. Volkssterrenwacht Urania - FrontMotion Firefox.

It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide. The beams travel in opposite directions in separate beam pipes – two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum. The Official String Theory Web Site. Popular Science.
