Talk:Cosmic string

In the article, it states
- "Cosmic strings, if they exist, would be extremely thin with diameters on the same order as a proton."
How can a 1 dimensional object even have diameter, let alone as significant as a single particle.. the _only_ measurement would be length, right? --User:203.166.107.242
String theory says that as the strings vibrate very fast they may form loops or rings. These may be the diameters to which the article refers.
Confusion with string theory
A second piece of evidence supporting string theory is a phenomenon observed in observations of the "double quasar" called Q0957+561A,B.
Shouldn’t this read “cosmic string theory?” The issue appears to be unrelated to string theory.
