Scaling

I went to Clay Mathematics Institute to listen to t'hooft' talk.The idea of scaling (physics law should look similar as we go down in scale) is very natural. The fundamental constants c = m/s, \hbar= kg m^2 s^-1, enables us to express time, length, and mass by cm. In addition, if we add G, gravitational constant, then everything would be unitless and we obtain planck's scale.
At the end of the talk, I asked him whehter time is treated in the same way as other dimensions are treated, but in retrospect, since string theory is an effort to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity, the answer must be yes. But in my view, Schrodinger equation treats time on a very different basis, so my question of how string theoriests modifies quantum mechanics remains unanswered. I guess it simply means that I have to study more.

I wanted to make it habit to ask questions no matter who the talker is, and in that sense, my efforts to ask questions weren't so bad. After all, I know almost nothing, so I should not really hide that fact and when I am given with the opportunity to ask, I should really ask.
