#467092 — "String Theory" is a useless, unfalsifiable, random hypothesis.

"String Theory" is a useless, unfalsifiable, random hypothesis;
not a "theory", like "the theory of evolution".

Further, there are no strings in "String Theory"; 
it's all N-dimensional branes now.

Like Fusion, it's _ always a few years away;
decade after decade, after decade, after decade.

Pride _ demands ignorance; hence the MultiVerse.

Ignorance can't prove the existence of EuRandomness; 
all of history, every lesson ever, every advance, tells me:
randomness is ignorance, nothing more.

A robot might select an apple over an orange,
but that doesn't mean it has "free will" ("the uncaused cause").

We're consumption machines, exploiting a niche,
(poorly) programmed by nature to take a LessBad "option".

IKYABWAI noted...

i guess we couldn't afford paint chips...  plus i grew up in a modern house that had no peeling off paint anywhere to be seen.  ie: vinyl windows, vinyl siding.

no paint chips.  :'(

if everything is "just a theory" then explain how you're using a device comprised of NPN and PNP transistors that operate on quantum theory to complain about theories being "random".

Not "everything".
"The theory of evolution" is a useful, never falsified fact.
"String Theory" is a useless, unfalsifiable, random hypothesis.

Do you see the difference ?!
Of course not, you can't; you ate too many paint chips.

> how do you expect we should continue unraveling 
> the mysteries of the universe without theorizing, pumpkinhead?

Like Fusion, "String Theory" is _ always a few years away;
decade after decade, after decade, after decade.

Do you see what I'm getting at ?! 

Of course you don't; you ate too many paint chips.

i'm not the one suggesting that theoretical physics is "useless".  it's nice to see that you omitted any evidence that quantum theory has helped your computer transmit your loony rant to an audience of tens of people. 

if scientists listened to you we'd still be teaching that the earth was the center of the universe.

what i suspect is that you can't even begin to fathom the higher-order and multi-dimensional math required for the study of N-branes and therefore you consider it to be "witchcraft".  is string theory lighter than a duck?

am i close?

if you were me then you'd still be you, so kill yourself for all i care.

can you explain why you believe that M-theory is "random" and "useless"?

also, as has been stated earlier... your computer operates based on principles that came from quantum theory... is quantum theory also "useless" and "random", in your opinion, as you have described "string theory"?

maybe you should write in to a physics magazine or journal and complain?

#467165 — The tastiest soup in a putrid swamp.

> can you explain why you believe that M-theory is "random" and "useless"?

"M-theory" isn't a theory, like evolution;
it's just the latest roll of the dice.

> Why-is-M-Theory-the-leading-candidate-for-theory-of-everything ?

Because it's the tastiest soup in a putrid swamp.

2016, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope found 
the brightest objects known to man: gamma-ray blazars,
Two Trillion times the sun's output.

They're young, of course, just 1.4 billion years old, 
multi-billion-solar-mass black holes, in "Active Galactic Nuclei".

Like The Known Universe itself, blazars had more exergy,
less entropy, when they were younger. 

At the start, there was "no entropy" ("no time, no space"), just "eXergy" 
( a type of energy that can do physical work, force * distance ).

Everything decays, even gravity; hence the arrow of time.
Entropy converts blazars into SpaceTime.  Gravity is residual eXergy.

Eventually, this eXergy will be consumed away, replaced with entropy,
leaving us with a uniform heat bath that has all of the energy
but none of the eXergy.  

Einstein's Cosmological Constant ( 1.11 * 10^−52 / Meters^2 ) tells us 
that outer space is growing EXPONENTIALLY, gravity is dying off;
-- i.e. the "Heat Death" predicted by Lord Kelvin, 1852,
   is the most likley outcome.

We are programmed very well by the nature for the purpose of reproduction till the age of 30+  After that it's big mess (menopause, andropause) and people start doing things against the nature like e.g. vasectomies.  The program has been designed to just make kids and support their growth till they self sustainable...
