Like “purely one-dimensional high frequency vibrations at the Planck scale which emit electromagnetic force sufficient to make them appear to be solid point sources of mass.”
And no, no one has even observed quarks, which are 10^16 times larger than strings have to be.
Sounds like a cool story. What causes those vibrations and what is the actual matter that's vibrating? We're entering metaphysics at this point - I might as well talk to the hippy girl next door about astral energies and the cosmic vibes surrounding us all. Or maybe revert back to the Pythagorean theory about the music of the spheres.
They tend to say “strings” these days.
Like guitar strings? Has anyone observed those? But I guess it sounds fancy and sciency enough for the soyence goobers.

Exactly.
