A cool, relaxing, fun game. My son sent this to me to relax..

Check it out.. I played all afternoon when I wasn't working on an essay that is due at midnight.. lol... When I figure out exactly what "string theory" is, I will get back to the essay, I think..

I'm hooked!

There's more..don't ask me how i found them...I just clicked on something, lol. I played the penguin game and the Dragon...

ah... can't say it much easier than this guy at about.com : String theory is a mathematical theory that tries to explain certain phenomena which is not currently explainable under the standard model of quantum physics.
The Basics of String Theory
At its core, string theory uses a model of one-dimensional "strings" in place of the zero-dimensional particles of quantum physics. These strings, the size of the Planck length (i.e. 10-35 m) vibrate at specific resonant frequencies. The formulas that result from string theory predict more than four dimensions (10 or 11 in the most common variants, though on version requires 26 dimensions), but the extra dimensions are "curled up" within the Planck length.
String theory was initially developed in the 1970s in an attempt to explain some inconsistencies with the energy behavior of hadrons and other fundamental particles of physics.

As with much of quantum physics, the mathematics that applies to string theory cannot be uniquely solved. Physicists must apply perturbation theory to obtain a series of approximated solutions. Such solutions, of course, include assumptions which may or may not be true.

The driving hope behind this work is that it will result in a "theory of everything," including a solution to the problem of quantum gravity, to reconcile quantum physics with general relativity, thus reconciling the fundamental forces of physics.

but now....I'm going to check out the links!

wow sky... thanks How much of what you posted can I copy.. and maybe post some of the links. I need five pages.. I have two and a half.. and midnight is almost here ..

I think if you use your own words, then most all of it, since it is a theory that has to be spelled out in a certain way, no one can patent, nor plagerize the example.

Very calming!

yipeeeeeeee more games.. lol.. I played the ladybug one. Was kind of cool... Looks like I will be checken out all the games ..

ok anyone want to fess up on their scores.. hightest I got on the silver bell bunny one is 56,000 something.. I stink with my scores, but that doesn't stop me from playing haha

Glad you liked the game Sarah.. I also found it to be calming and fun...
