talking of feynman, have you read the feynman lectures on physics?
i'm studying physics at uni at the moment, and got those books for xmas. they are incredibly well written and explain lots of things far better than my lecturers could even dream of. even if you aren't studying physics, they're still quite entertaining.
I read some of his things awhile ago, but other useless information has knocked everything about that out of my brain.

when watching the "atom gun" fire they do one thing, but when only whatching where they end up on the paper, they do another, crazy,
Thanks to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the photon will act the way we would expect it to act in "classical" physics when we try to determine it's path. Just like electrons, we can either see how fast an electron is going or it's exact position at one point in time, we cannot do both at the same time.

String theory was debunked sorry i thought it was cool for a while i even read elegant universe
Well, it has been "debunked" by those who don't believe in it. Some physicist never believed in it, so they would obviously say it is not true. The problem is, it is the closest thing (as of now) we have to tying up all of the loose ends (sorry for the pun). The problem with trying to believe the string theory is that it requires 10 dimensions. The funniest part of it is the way these extra dimensions come about. Say the physicist come up with an equation that states 1+2=1. The way they remedy that is by adding another dimension that makes it 1+2-2=1. Obviously it is not that simple, but you get the point. Here is some history/information about the string theory.
