M-Theory: Hawking's Candidate for the Theory of Everything

By RE CASTEL

M-theory is essentially String theory complexified.

In string theories, strings are assumed to be the fundamental constituent of the universe. But M-theory adds another fundamental constituent, the 'membranes'.

String theory mainly posits that the fundamental particles are not 0-dimensional objects (point-like objects) but are instead oscillating 1-dimensional objects (line-like objects) – which are called 'strings'.

M-theory mainly posits that membranes are multidimensional objects, and strings are 1-dimensional parts of membranes.

Most string and M theorists are beholden to the conventions that regard space-time transformations and descriptions of space and time. Thus, they are constrained in their interpretations and they fail to appreciate that the mathematics of their theories involve descriptions of motion which are represented by 'vectors' (and the like) which they refer to as 'dimensions' and 'strings'.

For as long as the string and M theorists insist on the idea of space-time transformations, they will never appreciate the idea that the mathematics allow interpretations in terms of pure kinematics, they will never appreciate that the relevant fundamental component of physical reality is the essence of motion, and they will never appreciate that the fundamental particles are motion constructs that can be described using 'vectors' and their resolutions (instead of 'strings' and 'membranes').

The following are links to explanations regarding String Theory and M-theory:

For an example of mathematical explanations pertaining to M-Theory, consider the following and note the obvious allusions to the idea of motion in the terms used (e.g., vectors, rotations, perturbation, oscillation, inflation, mechanics, interactions, fields, forces, gravitation/gravity, charge, electromagnetism, etc.):

There are issues regarding what the M in M-theory really means. According to the various proponents the 'M' can stand for either "magic", "mystery", "matrix", "membrane", "mother", or "master". I wouldn't be surprised if someday the 'M' will eventually stand for "motion" or "motion constructs".
