"woven" - may be a reference to the String Theory of
physics. (Allah knows the truth.) According to this theory, the basic ele-
ments that comprise the universe are not point-like particles, but strings
resembling miniature violin strings. These tiny, identical and one dimen-
sional strings oscillating in the form of filaments are rather like loops in
appearance. Modern-day thinkers assume that the origin of all the diver-
sity in the universe lies in the way these “strings” operated at different
levels of vibration, in the same way that violin strings produce different
sounds with different vibrations depending on how they are plucked. 11
Although it is not possible to see the size of the threads in the String
Theory, famous theses - such as Einstein’s theory of general relativity and
his ideas on quantum mechanics – can still be calculated mathematically.
These strings, which scientists regard as the material from which space and

time are woven, are just 1.6x10 m 0.000000000000000000000000000000000016

measurement, being just ten to twenty of the protons that make up the
nucleus of that atom. 13 If
