string theory: a theory of everything?? ...and were the ancient vedas on to something??

I was watching this very informative show on TV on the string theory.. a theory which is seeking to unite the four fundamental forces in nature.. the large scaled GRAVIATION with the small scaled Weak and Electromagnetic forces. The theory assumes that all matter vibrates as a string (which can be characterized by multi-dimensional vibrations).

I started thinking... that our very own vedas and puranas have talked about a cosmic sound or OM (or AUM). This sound is supposed to be the cosmic truth... could it be that the vibrations of this sound explain the fundamental vibraton frequencies of the universe? Were the ancients on to something??
here is another link to a similar discussion....

... [Albert Einstein's] dream of a unified theory has become the Holy Grail of modern physics. And a sizeable part of the physics and mathematics community is becoming increasingly convinced that string theory may provide the answer. From one principle-that everything at its most microscopic level consists of combinations of vibrating strands-string theory provides a single explanatory framework capable of encompassing all forces and all matter. String theory proclaims, for instance, that the observed particle properties, ... are a reflection of the various ways in which a string can vibrate. Just as the strings on a violin or on a piano have resonant frequencies at which they prefer to vibrate-patterns that our ears sense as various musical notes and their higher harmonics-the same holds true for the loops of string theory. But we will see that, rather than producing musical notes, each of the preferred patterns of vibration of a string in string theory appears as a particle whose mass and force charges are determined by the string's oscillatory pattern. The electron is a string vibrating one way, the up-quark is a string vibrating another way, and so on. Far from being a collection of chaotic experimental facts, particle properties in string theory are the manifestation of one and the same physical feature: the resonant patterns of vibration-the music, so to speak--Of fundamental loops of string. The same idea applies to the forces of nature as well. We will see that force particles are also associated with particular patterns of string vibration and hence everything, all matter and all forces, is unified under the same rubric of microscopic string oscillations-the "notes" that strings can play. For the first time in the history of physics we therefore have a framework With the capacity to explain every fundamental feature upon which the universe is constructed. For this reason string theory is sometimes described as possibly being the "theory of everything" (T.O.E.) or the "ultimate" or "final" theory. The Elegant Universe, Brian Greene; pp15-16.

hese are the very words of Veda. Prajapatir vai idam asit: In the beginning was Brahman. Tasya vag dvitya asit; with whom was the Vak (or Sound)... Vag vai paramam Brahma; and the Vak (Sound) is Brahman"

There is a Yogic Discipline called Shabda Yoga - The Divine Science of Light and Sound. This path helps one to become one with the light and sound of the supreme divine. The Masters of the Discipline teach how all of creation came into being. Creation came into being though the light and sound of the creator. This sound is called OM or AUM. It is part of mantras and chants used by tibetan monks and other meditative schools of thought.
