voidisyinyang Posted August 27, 2008 You should hear me speak Gibbon!   Strings at future singularities  Adam Balcerzak and Mariusz P. Dabrowski Institute of Physics, University of Szczecin, Wielkopolska 15, 70-451 Szczecin, Poland  (Received 11 April 2006; published 15 May 2006)  We discuss the behavior of strings propagating in spacetimes which allow future singularities of either a sudden future or a Big-Rip type. We show that in general the invariant string size remains finite at sudden future singularities while it grows to infinity at a Big-Rip. This claim is based on the discussion of both the tensile and null strings. In conclusion, strings may survive a sudden future singularity, but not a Big-Rip where they are infinitely stretched.

Hmm is this like the 'event horizon' of the 'Julia Seed' realising the 'Mandelbrot Set'! Â Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
