This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

i dont think it stands as such for something....its an extension of string theory...i guess...

are u a crap?- extension of string -theory?? :D LOL.. it is a term which consists of theories like the String theory, the Black Hole theory, the theory of relativity, etc... M- professionally has no extension but it can be referred as Miracle, Master or Magic(refer Stephen Hawking's Grand Design). :)

I'm thinking Music Theory, but it can be something else like Mechanism Theory or something like that

Mother Theory.

'M', I guess stands for all the unexplained events of the universe, for mystery, magic and human thinking..

Souvik Paul - 8 years ago

It means multiverse, because you have a lot of separate universes and ours is just one of them
