>I can give a sort of counter argument.
You can't because you clearly have an incredibly shallow understanding of string theory (I do too). For one thing, you're completely stuck on the metaphor of the 'string' and you're trying to apply it to a very shallow understanding of Quantum Mechanics and complaining that it doesn't make sense. Okay.
I think it's cool to talk about fundamental research but taking it one step further and saying that some theory X isn't correct because it doesn't make sense to ME, a non-professional physicist, is a step too far. Be more humble.
- tim333 10y agoYup I don't understand it. I'm not convinced others really do either though.
- auntienomen 10y agoThere's a minimum threshold of understanding required to make intelligent commentary on topics like this. Muddled pop-sci and half remembered undergrad material doesn't cut it.
- tim333 10y agoFair enough but is my description of two slit interference patterns wrong and is there any way you can explain the result with string theory?
- auntienomen 10y agoYou can explain it with any quantum mechanical theory. Talking about strings here is a red herring. That's why people are calling you out.
