Question

Which of the following, if available, would best $\underset{–}{\text{refute}}$ the authors assertion about the young upstart (line 57) ?

• A. Evidence that certain kinds of particles in nature exceed the speed of light
• B. Confirmation of conditions that existed in the earliest stages of the big bang
• C. Speculation that the deep interior of a black hole is not as dense as scientists have believed
• D. Mathematical formulas that link general relativity and quantum mechanics in the same realm
• E. Proof that the laws governing the universe depend on the size of the system being studied

Answer 1

The correct option is E Proof that the laws governing the universe depend on the size of the system being studied

According to superstring theory, the marriage of the laws of the large and the small is not only happy but inevitable. Superstring theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universefrom Theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universefrom the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary starsare reflections of one grand physical principle, one master equation.

The passage is all about the eruption of Universe.According to the big bang theory, the whole of the universe erupted from a microscopic nugget whose size makes a grain of sand look colossal. These are realms that are tiny and yet incredibly massive, therefore requiring that both quantum mechanics and general relativity simultaneously be brought to bear.

Hence option E is correct option.
