Had to check, yes, time is moving on, guess IIT is 20 years old.
Curious what tests you think have been done with String Theory.
Both String Theory and IIT, now decades old, and still trying to be tested. Both accused of being 'pseudoscience' and 'untestable'.
Haven't even gotten into the 'over-fitting' problem attributed to String Theory. IF it doesn't fit, keep adjusting it. But does it really predict anything, if it has to keep being adjusted after the fact.
Think you're really splitting hairs on what a 'test' is and what that other article was saying.
Guess even after 20+ years even string theory might finally be tested.
2020. Finally Getting there.

"Many physicists consider string theory our best hope for combining quantum physics and gravity into a unified theory of everything. Yet a contrary opinion is that the concept is practically pseudoscience, because it seems to be nearly impossible to test through experiments."
