Quantum SuperStrings and Quantized Fractal Space Time

Abstract

Though Quantum SuperString Theory has shown promise, there are some puzzling features like the extra dimensions, which are curled up in the Kaluza-Klein sense. On the other hand a recent formulation of what may be called Quantized Fractal Space Time leads to a surprising interface with QSS - we deal with the Planck length, the same number of extra dimensions and an identical non-commutative geometry. It is shown that this is not accidental. On the contrary it gives us insight into the otherwise inexplicable features of QSS.
