The time has come the walrussez to speak of strings and things

Last night I watched a program on the Discovery channel about the little Big man, Stephan Hawking,  and of course this centered around the Big Bang, Black Holes and the Theory of Everything.  It seems that the next level in scientific thought beyond Relativity, beyond Quantum Physics is String Theory.  And it seems that the latest thinking is that String Theory will lead to an equation.. one equation.. which will describe everything.  That will allow us to predict anything and everything  and according to Hawking we have no need for the concept of God.    Whoa fellows, haven't we come full circle here?  Up until Relativity and Quantum Mechanics wasn't it God who predetermined everything?  Wasn't it the will of God that made things happen or not?  Now you are telling us that a single mathematical equation will do the same thing.  From that I get that the future is still predictable and predetermined.

I can relate more to the Quantum people who insist on the uncertainty of things.  Because here when and if they do find that magic equation there may still be the slightest probability of something beyond our understanding that allows for our greatest salvation and that is HOPE and the faith that we can beat the odds for a better outcome than PREDICTED. 

One thing in that tv program that was interesting was the example of the infinitesimal small size of the strings.  In describing the size of a string, the example was used that a string would be about as small to us as we are to the universe at large.  I like that annalogy because of its suggestiveness that we are Strings in the overall scheme of things and we all vibrate to our own individual frequency.  When the vibration from one string is the same as that of some other then that creates resonance and energy can flow betwen the two...  Wow what would happen if all the strings vibrated at the same frequency in unison.  That would create an inmeasurable amount of energy and perhaps another Big Bang and we start all over again.  But that is science fiction not science.....  or is it?
