II. Quotations from Halpern (2004)
• “Supersymmetry charged into the picture of the early 1970s to help
rescue an imperiled model of the strong nuclear force , called hardonic
string theory.” Claud Lovelace, “fascinated by the string model, sought a
means of eliminating strange, faster-than-light entities called ‘tachyonic
cuts’ that had poked their heads into the calculations. Lovelace found
that the only way to ward off this conundrum would be to situate the
strings in a twenty-six-dimensional manifold” (232–33).
• “In 1984, Green and Schwarz put their minds together and made one
of the greatest breakthroughs in their careers” (251), by developing
superstring theory. “Within a year after Green and Schwarz published
their paper on anomaly-free superstrings, a number of other physicists
discovered a host of additional viable models” among them the four
discoverers of heterotic string theories —David Gross (a Nobel laureate
for physics in 2004), Jeffrey Harvey, Emil Martinec, and Ryan Rohm—
“… they found an ingenious way of blending separate string theories to
form a greater harmony” (255). The developed theory is most “suitable
for modeling nature’s disparity between left- and right-handedness. This
is like a country dance with two concentric rings: the men circling in
one direction and the women in the other. Replace the men with super-
symmetric strings living in 10 dimensions , and the women with bosonic

strings living in twenty-six-dimensions, and one has a good picture” of
the new theory. “In order for the ‘dance partners’ to be well matched, the
bosonic strings must hide sixteen of their twenty-six dimensions. These
extra dimensions must curl up into a compact space” (255).

III. Quotations from Penrose (2004)

• “It turns out that there are five quite distinct possible overall schemes for
the detailed way in which the supersymmetry interrelates the ‘bosonic’

and ‘fermionic’ modes of vibration of the string. Thus, there are five dif-
ferent string theories” … “ The Heterotic strings are particularly strange
in that the left- and right-moving disturbances seem to belong to two
spacetimes of different dimensionality (26 and 10, respectively). This
hardly makes good geometrical sense—certainly not to me(!)—but it
appears to make the appropriate formal sense” (912).
• Relating to the recently developed M-theory: “How is it that a theory with
an 11-dimensional ‘space-time’ [1 dimension for time and 10 for space]
can be something that specializes, in certain low-energy or high-energy
limits, to various theories, each (but one) of which has a 10-dimensional
