Perturbatively, fundamental strings are more fundamental than branes or any other objects. In that old-fashioned description, D-branes are "solitons" — configurations of classical fields that arise from the closed strings. They are analogous to magnetic monopoles — which may also be written as classical configurations of the "more fundamental fields" in field theory. In a similar way, D-branes' masses diverge for 𝑔→0. Non-perturbatively, D-branes and other branes are equally fundamental as strings. In fact, when 𝑔 is sent to infinity, some D-branes may become the lightest objects — usually strings of a dual (S-dual) theory. When we include very strongly coupled regimes (high values of the string coupling constant 𝑔), there is a brane democracy.

The actual heart of quantum mechanics is that the objects in its equations are connected to the observations very differently than the classical counterparts have been.

Because the white genes are mutations of the genes of the original men of color - and males are mutations of the original females - we can finally answer the question "Is God black?" The answer is "Yes, She is."
