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".
