There's No Way That Scientists Can Ever

Most People Don’t Question The Practice Of Eating Meat. Many Of These People Care About Animals And The Environment, Some Deeply.

I Can Assure You That No String Theorist Would Be Interested In Working On String Theory If It Were Somehow Permanently Beyond Testability. That Would No Longer Be Doing Science.

The Central Idea Of String Theory Is Quite Straightforward. If You Examine Any Piece Of Matter Ever More Finely, At First You'll Find Molecules, Atoms, Sub-atomic Particles. Probe The Smaller Particles, You'll Find Something Else, A Tiny Vibrating Filament Of Energy, A Little Tiny Vibrating String.

String Theory Is The Most Developed Theory With The Capacity To Unite General Relativity And Quantum Mechanics In A Consistent Manner. I Do Believe The Universe Is Consistent, And Therefore I Do Believe That General Relativity And Quantum Mechanics Should Be Put Together In A Manner That Makes Sense.

Experimental Evidence Is The Final Arbiter Of Right And Wrong.
