Since there is a whole section of the forum dedicated to String Theory and the Paranormal, I figured it should have a list of the authoritative sources on Super String Theory (aka String Theory):

"The" Website:
* http://www.superstringtheory.com/

A bit more intermediate level, with links to other related topics:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstring_theory

Some authoritative papers:
* http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=6426153 (Subscription Needed)
* http://www.iop.org/EJ/article/1126-6708/2002/01/047/jhep012002047.pdf?request-id=56a7a414-a014-430b-976e-157e8a109678
* http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/9709/9709062v2.pdf

A couple of nice, weekend-long reads on the topic (Older, but mostly still valid):
*http://books.google.com/books?id=ItVsHqjJo4gC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=&f=false
*http://books.google.com/books?id=-dlwLWaqlb0C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=&f=false

This should cover most people's needs for information on Superstring Theory :)  I hope everyone enjoys the reads :)  Also, a disclaimer:  At this point in time, Superstring Theory has not yet been tested.  It's a mathematical theorem, hopefully to be testable with some of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiments.

Wow thanks a bunch Ubergeek, you're the geekiest! I really luv this subject, and the unified field theory too, but don't have the formal education to explore the possibilties for speculation - and that's what I'm good at  spec -ulating,,,,
I better get some new glasses, all that reading will probably wear out my old ones completely.

And what I posted here is the distillation after years and years of study by scientist, trying to make science accessible to everyone :)  Glad you're enjoying it!

There was also a good, easy to understand program on String Theory on t.v. just a few weeks ago.  Discovery channel?  I don't have time to look it up right now, I should be getting ready for work.

Just as well PJay,,I don't have TV - I quit cable in 1980's when the writers went on strike, haven't paid for it since,,,I like the odd comedy and catch movies on video and dvd,,all my news has always been radio and if I get interested in something like this and need to dig deeper, I try find someone who knows a bit about it, and spend days and days in the reference section of the library,,,luckily, I've had tons of spare time and a number of seperate sociel circles to pick brains from,,,though some circles are pretty slim pickin's,,,it is also why I am slowly becoming a pest with basic questions and numerous posts,,,but on the bright side,,I'll make newbies feel comfortable and above average intelects feel like genius',,,,do miss Discovery, MuchMusic and A&E,,,but not enough to pay for it,,,,

I get all my scientific information from children's saturday t.v.     Just kidding... maybe.
