I took that to mean that they don't use string theory to prove anything per se. But it sounds like they got "insights" from string theory, which seems like it was useful for once? IANAP.
- ojnabieoot 6y agoI am a mathematician with some physics background and have been skimming this article: they took mathematical inspiration from string theory in terms of how they formulated the path integrals, but the physical concept of a string doesn’t actually appear. So string theory provided analytic tools but didn’t actually provide physics.
