In string theory, how are specific string states associated with specific particle species? How in particular is the photon described as a string?

  • $\begingroup$ "elastic multidimensional fabric and particles in it are just tensions or vibration" Sounds like open strings on a p-brane in M-theory, which also has closed-string particles such as gravitons. "we can merge conservation of mass with conservation of energy" We can already do that. "how scientists distinguish particles in it" The identification of specific string states with specific particle species is a great question for this site (which I wish I could answer for you), but to address @Qmechanic's concern I suggest you edit out everything else, which is more speculative and not on-topic here. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Qmechanic Not at all. I just need someone to explain what is particles and everything else is just a background to help people understand question better. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 22, 2022 at 11:45
