> This person is claiming "we can't directly probe a string therefore string theory is religion", but then she works on something which is worse than religion - something which we know is experimentally disproven. Not sure what you are referring to here. If it is her work on theories involving a minimal length scale: Heisenberg and Planck also hypothesized about minimal length scales. Hardly controversial even if difficult to combine with Lorenz invariance. Experimental testability is important in physics. It doesn't mean anyone doing something not directly testable is a hack, but I think it's good people have been raising the issue more recently.
