People always talk about the "fabric" of reality. We always describe things as a sort of cloth!
My "theory," really more a hypothesis, would be that it is intentional. Reality and everything we see and seem are all threads (strings, if you will ^_~) that have become interlaced. Each person has their own pattern of these fibres, and inanimate objects have their own pattern too. If this is the case, one could train themselves to become more sensitive to these patterns, and then in turn manipulate reality through literally pulling on strings!
I will think on this more, but in the mean time, what do y'all think?

Methinks that by the very definitions of string theory these strings are far too small to comprehend, much less see, and much much less pull on.
sweatdrop Interesting notion, though.

I'm thinking along these lines: When binding a rope at the end (a non-plastic rope), you use (basically) a smaller rope. If you have a rope, one of the best methods for binding the end is with thread or string (which are smaller ropes). So it would seem that at some level, these strings would become like a larger cord, and those cords could be what we perceive as reality. This is all really just an idea, though.

So atoms are made up of strings... Which are bound by smaller strings... Which are bound by smaller strings... Which are beyond human comprehension. I think? confused - got a little lost - >.< I have trouble understanding new theories and concepts without a picture.

This is all mostly my addition to the theory, in all liklihood it is a bunch of bunk... but an interesting idea.

well, their really are threads for peoples lives, past, present, and all the future possibilities. . I have seen those. . never tried to pull on them, just read them. . I imagine if you could pull on them, and did, you would affect a whole lot more than you thought you would. . since they are interlaced and twined with all those other threads for other people and other situations . . so, I personally would never attempt that unless I was really sure of what I was doing and actually had a valid reason for doing so. . . and, the idea of the fabric of not people, but the physical items. . idk, I wouldnt really attempt anything like that unless I really understood what it would entail. . I also dont have good enough sight to see if they really are threads. . I mean, I know their are energy structures but idk the details of the structure of things really. .

Piers Anthony shares youe theory. In one of his "incarnations of immortality" books, he expresses his opinion that everyone is a string in the tapestry of fate, and when they meet, they weave together, and when the die, the strings are cut, and they branch off.

Robert Jordan shares your theory as well. Ever read his "Wheel of Time" series? Start with "The Eye of the World", and work your way up. It's a rollicking good read, and I hope he finishes the series before he dies. He's been writing it since the 70s. I find some of the best theories pop up in the sci-fi/fantasy section of bookstores...

Ok, that sounds like old style Greek Fates, spinning out the lives of mortals from their spindles.
