Superchannel—Inside and Beyond Superstring
net in which things flow into one another without north being separated from the south but
with a common focal point or fulcrum that balances their odds. This would mean that there is
south in every north and north in every south and that each fold which is present but intrinsically
fluid depending on the complexity of the foldings has a common centre. Even then, as
we shall see when we get to the superchannel, there is more to this than meets the eye, because
we are not dealing transfigurally with elementary particles and force particles. Instead
we are recognising the dynamic natural communion of both through a shared central focus in
the flow-fold-forms that are not discrete points but folds and in which a point is a line
(linepoint) and a line is a point (pointline) that breathes in space, without contradiction.
What are conventionally called ‘forces’ therefore boil down transfigurally to coherences
or inductive influences in the dynamic configuration of receptive space as it folds in and
out of things that flow in and out of it with hills and lowlands, waterfalls, bubbles and other
features of the sea and landscape and air. In the zeroidal flow there is no arbitrariness as to
how alpha-omega curves with the zeroids as their springs flow. In other words, motion does
not require the imposition of externally localized force as in the classical setting of physics
but is inherent in the nature and condition of everything dynamically including and included
in everywhere.
What is crucial to understanding what is going on as we shall see when we get to the
superchannel which is therefore a line of points that flow, that is flowpoint, as the inner infinities
of the zeroids. We only say this in passing to prepare for the journey ahead.
Meanwhile, still on the fundamental forces of physics. These are explained in (Sunil
Mukhi: The Theory of Strings: A Detailed Introduction) below:
Like electromagnetism [whose elementary particle is photon], every other fundamental
interaction must have its own mediating particle. Precisely three other kinds of funda
mental interactions are known. One of these is the familiar force of gravitation, while
the other two are nuclear forces that were only discovered in this century: the "strong
nuclear" and the "weak nuclear" force. The former is, in particular, responsible for the
binding of protons and neutrons to make up the nucleus of an atom, while the latter is
a totally distinct force and gives rise to phenomena such as radioactive decay. The
weak force is the only one which violates left-right symmetry or "parity". Gravitation,
like electromagnetism, is a long-range force, which is why these two have been known
for a long time. The two nuclear forces are short-ranged, and are therefore not com
monly observed at everyday distance scales. So, we may ask what is the elementary
particle associated to each of these interactions. To gravitation, we associate the
"graviton", a particle that has not been directly observed but is strongly believed to
exist. To the strong nuclear force we associate a set of particles called "gluons" becau
se of their glue-like binding properties, and to the weak nuclear force we associate
another set of particles called "W and Z bosons". There is compelling evidence for the
existence of gluons, while W and Z bosons produced at accelerators have been tracked
directly. This, then is a summary of all fundamental forces and force-carriers known
or believed to exist as of today.
To summarize: gravitation, which is perceived as a long-range force is mediated through
particles called gravitons. Electromagnetism is also long-range, with photon as the mediating
particle. Weak nuclear force is short-range, its mediating particles being W+, W- and Z bosons.
Strong Nuclear Force is short-range, its mediating particles being Gluons. These forces
also have spins, that is, gyrations.
In his new book, The Elegant Universe, which is a rich source on string theory, Brian
Greene describes what could be the inspiration of the very idea of string. Strings are about
