- poormystic 5y agoI think "No" - I think that a fresh paradigm might help sooner-or-later and I hope that some inventivmind soon discovers an understanding to shake and inform the foundations of physics. With smiles :) :) :)
- ncmncm 5y agoToo speculative for what? String theory is a popular specialty for physics departments to hire for because it is very cheap -- no expensive, you know, experiments to do. Just paper and chalk.
- weatherlight 5y agoshe argues that string theory is okay, but things like quantum multiverses that are not actually testable/observable aren't science and shouldn't be treated as such.
