# B3ta strenuously tests all kittens before use


A task made easier by the new kitten accelerator

kittens?

# You fools!!!
You'll open up a rift in the space/kitten continuum!

# Woo
We accelerate kittens to 90% of the speed of light, then smash them together, creating conditions not seen since the first millionth of a second after the Big Bang. We then study the exotic non-baryonic kitten matter released, which actually travels backwards in time and mews softly.

# could we
launch two kittens at each other? Now that I would pay to see.

play with superstring?

well done sir.

# kitten theory
i likes it!

# Actually
string theory is being largely abandoned for one that states that our universe is like a giant flapping membrane in 11 dimensional space (inhabited by other universes). The problem was that they were only working in 10 dimensions before so the membrane appeared like strings.

This has unified the old 11-dimensional and string theories and has helped bring the idea of a "theory of everything" nearer to our grasp (or at least seemingly so).

So there.

# Also
this new theory allows us to create formulae that work right back to the big bang and beyond (the theory being that the big bang was two other universes colliding).

# Oh. Sounds interesting.
Is there an idiots guide to 11 dimensional space? I want to know more.

# Dunno
try searching for "M-Theory" in gooooogle.

# errrrrrrr
Ok, it looks far too complex for ickle me. I think I'll wait for the next "Science of Discworld" book. They tend to manage to get physics down to a level I can just about follow :)

# Yeah.
M-theory. Mad stuff.

# I thought we'd just
superceded M Theory with K Theory - 12 dimensional kittens which looked like membranes when you did the calculations in 11 dimensions.

# Hmmmm
The Semiotics of Kittens is an interesting subject.

# But is the quantum kitten alive or dead?
And does our ability to observe the kitten affect its quantum stability?
